 | | Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Kanga League, which is played only in the monsoon season, between July and October, in the Azad maidan, the Cross maidan or the Oval, in Shivaji Park and in the MIG ground in Bandra. |
 | | Named after Dr H.D. Kanga, president of the Bombay Cricket Association, and started in 1948, the leagueÑalong with the Times Shield, Police Shield, Purshottam Shield, and Talim ShieldÑis one of the ingredients that go into the making of a Mumbai cricketer. |
 | | Sachin Tendulkar played in the league from the age of 12 and had a full season in 1986-87, when he scored 121 runs (20 or 30 runs in a Kanga match is a match-winning knock!) and subsequently in 1987-88. |
