Sachin Tendulkar's Portrait Unveiled At Lord's

Sachin Tendulkar has unveiled his portrait in the MCC Museum at the Lord's. The legendary Indian batter posed beside his portrait, which will be in the MCC Museum until the end of the 2025 season, and then it will be moved to the pavilion.
The portrait stems from a picture taken at Sachin's home in Mumbai by artist Stuart Pearson Wright 18 years ago and has now found a place in the oldest sporting museum in the world.

Sachin expressed his gratitude at being honoured at the Lord's. As quoted by the official Lord's site, Sachin Tendulkar said: “It’s a huge honour. 1983 when India won the World Cup was my first introduction to Lord’s - I saw our captain Kapil Dev lift the trophy. My cricket journey began there. Today, to have my portrait which will go inside the Pavilion - it has been some journey and it’s a journey that when I look back it brings a smile upon my face. I feel I have completed that circle and it feels special for sure.”

Sachin Tendulkar Rings The Iconic Bell At Lord's

Apart from unveiling his portrait, Sachin also rang the bell to mark the start of the third Test match of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. A handful of people around the world have had the honour of doing the dut,y and Sachin has added another feather to his hat. Incidentally, Sachin, who is regarded as one of the greats to have played the game, doesn't have his name etched in the famous Lord's Honours Board. The former Indian captain failed to register a single century at the iconic venue across formats.
