Tendulkar's Echo from Lord's Bell Tower
Lord's Cricket Ground, considered one of the most historic cricket grounds, has a unique tradition—the ringing of a bell by a special guest before the start of a match. Continuing this tradition, Sachin Tendulkar rang the bell on July 10th before the start of the third Test between India and England. Thousands of fans present cheered, welcoming the moment with applause.
Unveiling of the Portrait at Lord's Museum

This honor is bestowed upon players who have made unforgettable contributions to the history of cricket. The BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) shared pictures of these moments on its official social media account, showcasing the new portrait of Tendulkar.

Honor Precedes the 'Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy'
Prior to this, the announcement of renaming the Pataudi Trophy to the 'Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy' had also created a buzz in the cricketing world. This trophy, named after the great England fast bowler James Anderson and the legendary Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar, will now be the symbol of the Test series played between India and England. This decision was made with the aim of saluting Tendulkar's contributions to cricket and the greatness of Anderson's bowling.
The Lord's Test match began with the England captain winning the toss and choosing to bat first. This match is crucial for both teams, as it is the third match of the series, and both teams have won one match each, putting them in a tied position.
