An older cricket ground used for international matches.
The Brabourne Stadium is an international cricket stadium in Mumbai in Western India, built in the British Bombay era. It is the home ground of the Mumbai men's and women's cricket teams. It can accommodate 50,000 people for sports matches. The ground is owned by the Cricket Club of India (CCI). The North Stand of the Brabourne had housed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) headquarters and the 1983 Cricket World Cup trophy until 2006, when both were moved to the newly built Cricket Centre at the nearby Wankhede Stadium.

A colonial-era cinema built in Art Deco style. The hall started functioning in 1938 and had a sitting capacity of 1204. It was closed down in 2016 for renovation, and was reopened in February 2024 with a 1,300-seater theatre and a 300-seater IMAX screen. All traces of the original auditorium were removed including the balcony, with only the large relief sculptures flanking the sides being incorporated.
The massive grey and white sandstone building stands opposite Churchgate station and on the northwest corner of the Oval Maidan. The building was constructed in 1899. Although the Gothic architecture building dominates Mumbai's skyline on account of its location at a busy intersection it is often passed by unnoticed in the waves of humanity.
A large open place in South Mumbai. An old stone cross (crucifix) was built in the ground during Portuguese rule in the 16th century, hence the name. The ground is used for cricket in the dry season and association football during the monsoons. Near the southern end, the Mahindra United Club, a national-level club, has undertaken a lease of a small portion of the ground.
नरीमन पॉइंट Narīman Pôiṇṭ; Manhattan of Mumbai
The area is on land reclaimed from the sea. Nariman Point is the business hub of Mumbai. However, with the change in economic conditions, many companies have shifted to other areas of Mumbai, like Parel, Worli, Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), Andheri-Kurla Road and Powai. There are many airline offices and luxury hotels here. It is widely regarded as the "Manhattan of Mumbai" and it boasts of a spectacular skyline and pricey residential condos. It is also the main financial district of Mumbai and houses most of the financial services and brokerage companies—both Indian and international. It is also the location for the Vidhan Bhavan which is the political headquarters of the state of Maharashtra, as well as the summer seat of the Maharashtra Legislature.
Opened in 1975, this is the city's main cricket ground, and is the headquarters for the BCCI national governing body, for the Indian Premier League, and Mumbai Cricket Association. With a capacity of 32,000, it hosts Mumbai Indians in IPL.
