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 third match of the five -match Test series between India and England is being played at Lord’s Cricket Ground from Thursday. Lords is called ‘Mecca of Cricket’, almost every cricketer dreams of playing on this historic ground of England. There is a special thing about this ground- the Honors Board there. The names of those players are written on this board, who have done well in the match on this ground. In such a situation, the question is why Sachin Tendulkar, who scored 100 centuries, is not on this board.

To register the name on the Honors Board, the batsman has to score a century (100 runs or more) in Lord’s match, and the bowler has to take five wickets in an innings (5 wicket hall) or 10 wickets in the match. That is, this board decorates the names of only those players who have performed amazing at Lord’s.

Sachin Tendulkar could not score a single century on Lord’s ground

Sachin, who is called the God of Cricket, has made hundreds of records in his 24 -year international career. He has scored 100 centuries in his career, including ODI and Test.

But during this time his biggest innings has been 37 runs. At the same time, Sachin played three ODIs at Lord’s ground. During this time his biggest innings was 30 runs.
