Felicitations kicked off the first Test of the India-West Indies series at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Carl Hooper, playing his 100th Test at the same venue where he made his Test debut in 1987, was honoured on the occasion. Sachin Tendulkar, playing his 101st Test, witnessed the inauguration of the Sachin Tendulkar Stand at his home ground, a rare honour accorded to a still-playing cricketer.
