After the Wankhede Stadium was built, Brabourne was no longer used for Tests, although visiting teams played a few first-class matches at the ground.

[3] Sir Nowroji Saklatwala was the first Chairman of club, who served till his death in 1938, who also donated a large sum for construction of pavilion of the stadium.

[5] Brabourne Stadium was built on 90,000 square yards of reclaimed land[6] along Marine Drive[7] near Churchgate railway station in South Bombay[8] and was India's first permanent sporting venue.

De Mello used the name of Antonio Piedade da Cruz, an artist from Goa who was painting Lord Brabourne at the time, to obtain a meeting.

The popular story goes that before returning at the end of the meeting, de Mello asked Lord Brabourne : 'Your excellency, which would you prefer to accept from sportsmen, money for your Government, or immortality for yourself?'.

It took the efforts of Abubhai Jasdenwala, who had succeeded de Mello as the secretary in 1937, and Sir Nowroji Saklatwala, then Chairman of the Tata Group, among others, for the CCI to cover the costs.

In the Ranji match against Maharashtra that began on the last day of the year, Merchant improved upon it with an innings of 359 not out which still stands as the highest score made on the ground.

[39] With India in desperate trouble in the second innings, Ajit Wadekar and Srinivas Venkataraghavan were involved in a partnership of 25 for the eighth wicket when the latter was declared out caught behind off the bowling of Alan Connolly.

[40] The decision was criticised by the radio commentators, and as Venkat left the wicket after some hesitation, trouble broke out in the East Stand.

[42] In an unusual occurrence, when Gundappa Viswanath completed a hundred runs for India against England in a test match in 1973, he was lifted by opposition fielder Tony Greig.

[44] Among the notable innings played at the ground are Denis Compton's 249 not out for Holkar in the 1944–45 final[45] and Ajit Wadekar's triple century in 1966–67 against Mysore.

[27] Ever since the Brabourne Stadium was constructed, the CCI had a rough relationship with their tenants – the Bombay Cricket Association (BCA) – owing mostly to the disputes regarding the allotment of seats.

[5] Since then, except for a few first class matches, Brabourne staged few major games until 2006,[50] though international cricket briefly returned to the ground in 1989, when Australia and Pakistan played an ODI against each other.

Players such as Roger Binny and Mohammed Azharuddin played for a CCI XI, Wasim Akram, Imran Khan, Rameez Raja, and Mudassar Nazar, among others, turned out for Pakistan.

[63][64] In 2000, several Test level Indian players turned out for a Board Presidents XI in a three-day warm up game against the touring South Africans.

The match is remembered for Sachin Tendulkar announcing his resignation from the post of Captain of the Indian team at the press box.

The stadium also hosted a two-day warm-up match between the Board President's XI and the visiting South African team in 2015.

[74] Brabourne Stadium hosted the first Twenty20 International on Indian soil, when India beat Australia in a one-off game in October 2007.

[80] On the first day of the Test, the then Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Ashok Chavan released a book commemorating 75 years of cricket at the CCI.

[98] In 1995, it was the venue for the Masters cup tournament played by veteran cricketers representing India, Sri Lanka, Australia, West Indies, South Africa, and England.

[104] Jawaharlal Nehru, then Prime Minister of India, addressed a packed Brabourne Stadium during a NUS convention in 1950.

[105] Nikita Khrushchev, then chief of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, delivered a speech to a crowd of approximately 75,000 to 100,000 people at the ground in 1955.

[21][117] Awwal Number, a Bollywood movie starring Aamir Khan and directed by Dev Anand, was shot at the ground in the late 1980s.
