The third match of the five -match Test series between India and England is being played at Lord’s ground from Thursday. On the third day of the match, Indian batsman KL Rahul has scored a century and registered his name in the pages of history. A century on this ground is special for any batting, because the name of the player who scored a century here becomes immortal in the history of cricket. The reason for this is ‘Honors Board’ of Lord’s.

Only the name of the batsman goes on the Honors Board of Lord’s, who has scored a century here. Almost every cricketer dreams of playing on this historic ground of England. Every player wants his name to be written on the Honors Board of Lord’s. But for the batsmen, one has to work very hard to register his name on this board.

Batting on Lords is not easy. There is a slight slope on the pitch here, which is called ‘Lord’s Slope’. Because of this, the bowlers get swing and movement and the batsmen find it difficult to read the ball. The weather of England, clouds and moisture from above, for all these batsmen scoring runs here is no less than a challenge. This is the reason that scoring a century on Lord’s becomes very special.

This batsman scored a century on Lord’s ground

The first century was scored by England player Alan Steel on this historic ground in Lord’s. Steel first recorded his name on the Honors Board by scoring a century against Australia in 1884, 141 years ago.

For India, this batsman hit the first century on Lord’s ground

Vinu Mankad is the player to score the first century for India on Lord’s ground. Mankad did this feat in the year 1952. Mankad scored 184 runs against England during this period.
