The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) wants to name a seat at the Wankhede Stadium after MS Dhoni.

Apex Council member Ajinkya Naik has proposed to find the seat where MS Dhoni's World Cup-winning six landed and name it after him.

The excerpts of the letter containing the proposal were released today by The Indian Express.

The letter stated that the decision to name the seat after the Chennai Super Kings skipper would be an act of gratitude for his contribution to Indian cricket
The letter also proposed to preserve the ball which was used in the World Cup final in a museum site planned by MCA.
We have seen many instances where stands in various stadiums have been named after former players.

However, if the proposal goes through and the seat at Wankhede Stadium is named after MS Dhoni, it will be the first time in India where a particular seat will be named after a player.

The idea is, however, not new in other countries. A seat in the Great Southern Stand of MCG has been painted yellow to honour Simon O�Donnell�s 122-metre six for Victoria over New South Wales.

A third-tier seat is painted red in the Etihad Stadium in Melbourne to honour the 96-metre six hit by Brad Hodge in his last game for Melbourne Renegad .
