The ICC encroached on the space reserved for three Mumbai stalwarts - Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar and Vijay Merchant - at the Wankhede on Sunday. The organizers put the hoardings on the stands named after these players, making their names invisible. Tendulkar's name was barely visible, but the names of Gavaskar and Merchant were completely covered, leaving the spectators wondering as to which stands they were sitting in.

"We had put the boards, but the hoardings covered them. A decision to make separate boards and put them elsewhere was taken, but I don't know what went wrong," said an official.
