Sachin Tendulkar was invited to ring the bell at the Lord’s to signal the start of the third Test between England and India on July 10, and several officials accompanied him.
The bell is located near the Lord’s pavilion, and it is a customary ceremony which happens before the start of the proceedings at the Home of Cricket.
It has been rung by legendary cricketers since 2007. Tendulkar did the honours for the first time at the famous venue. The ongoing series has been renamed after him, along with England legend James Anderson. It is now known as Anderson-Tendulkar.
Tendulkar took to X to express his gratitude.
I first visited Lord’s as a teenager in 1988, and returned in 1989 with the Star Cricket Club team.
I remember standing near the pavilion, soaking in the history and dreaming quietly.
Today, to have my portrait unveiled at this very place is a feeling that’s hard to put into… pic.twitter.com/ZC987eH8oZ
