It was an unforgettable day for Sachin Tendulkar near Lord. After the bell rang as part of the iconic tradition at the beginning of the third test in London, Tendulkar had his portrait in the pavilion. Indian launches took the social media to express his emotions and said he felt that life came in a full circle.
Tendulkár posed beside his portrait, which is now located in the Museum Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). The painting will be moved to the large walls of the Lord’s pavilion this year. A portrait, based on a photo from the beginning of 2000, captures Tendulkar in Indian white and sports his signature short, curly hair. | Lord’s Test Day 1 update |
The work of art was created by Stuart Pearson Wright from a photo, which he took 18 years ago in his house. Pearson Wright had previously painted portraits of Indian cricket legends chapels Dev, Dilip Vengsarkar and Bishan Singh Bedi.
“Both the work and Pearson Wright’s approach, eventually closed with oil on an abrasive aluminum. The abstract background symbolizes Tendulka’s timelessness, unlimited by any era or specific location,” read the edition.
Tendulkar is emotional
Former Captain India was also thinking about his early memories of the cult soil in a sincere column. Tendulkar traveled around England before he debuted. In 1988, as a teenager, Lord and Star Cricket Club, operated by a former cricket in Mumbai Kailash Gattani, who organized overseas tours for talented young players.
“I first visited Lord as a teenager in 1988 and returned in 1989 with the Cricket Club Star team.
“Today, having my portrait revealed in this place is a feeling that is difficult to express in words.
“Life really came to a full circle. I’m grateful and full of amazing memories,” Tendulkar wrote.
Maestro’s launching enjoyed the day in the center of attention with the Lord, rang the bell to signal the beginning of the game and later watch the action from the stalls next to his wife Anjali.

Unlike previous paintings in the collection that were in full length, according to the edition, Tendulkar’s portrait is greater than life by displaying his head and shoulders. The men’s portrait program has been running in its current form for three decades, although the MCC collects art and artifacts from the Victorian era.
In the 1950s, a specialized museum was opened, making it the oldest sports museum in Europe. Part of this rich tradition is a gallery of a long room, which is considered to be the oldest and most famous gallery in sports. The club currently holds about 3,000 works of art, of which almost 300 are portraits.
Artist Pearson on a portrait
“It was clear that MCC did not want this portrait in the same format as the previous Indian cricket portraits I did, so this was a new approach,” Pearson said.
“I decided on a composition that focused more on Sachin’s head, using a heroic scale greater than life to give painting a feeling of gravitas and strength.
“I often painted portraits with an abstract background only a simple color show than to include the display of internal or exterior settings. This is largely to concentrate on the features of the subject and avoid their defining in a particular context.”
Tendulkar played five Lord’s test matches and scored 195 runs on average 21. He is one of the most respected Kricts-Nenside Ricky Ponting-noto to register the century on the spot and therefore does not have his name to the iconic Honors Council. In three ODI on the ground he managed only 45 runs.
