Sachin Tendulkar receives twin honours at Lord's, rings iconic bell shortly after unveiling his portrait.

In a historic moment that celebrated cricketing excellence, Sachin Tendulkar was honoured with two prestigious gestures at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground in London. The Indian cricket legend unveiled his portrait in the revered Long Room, joining the ranks of the sport’s greatest figures, and soon after, he rang the ceremonial bell to signal the start of the day’s play—an honour reserved for only the most respected in cricket.

The twin honours came on the sidelines of the 2025 India vs England Test match, where Lord's took a moment to acknowledge Tendulkar's extraordinary contributions to the sport. Dressed in a formal blue blazer, Tendulkar expressed gratitude and emotion as he stood beneath his own portrait—immortalized in the same room where legends like Sir Donald Bradman and Sir Garfield Sobers are remembered.

Ringing the bell at Lord’s is a celebrated tradition, and Tendulkar's moment was met with thunderous applause from fans and dignitaries alike. This event adds another glorious chapter to the Master Blaster’s relationship with Lord’s, a ground where he may not have scored a Test century, but has undoubtedly left an everlasting legacy.

Speaking to the press after the event, Tendulkar said, “Lord’s has always held a special place in my heart. Being honoured in this way is beyond words.” Cricket fans across the globe shared their excitement online, with hashtags like #TendulkarAtLords and #SachinHonoured trending across social media platforms.

This dual tribute serves as a reminder of the profound impact Sachin Tendulkar has had not only on Indian cricket but on the global stage. His legacy continues to inspire new generations of cricketers and f

ans alike.
