Sachin Tendulkar has decided to donate 26 bats to the Sharad Pawar Cricket Museum of the Mumbai Cricket Association, marking a significant moment in Indian cricket history. The bats, carefully selected from across his illustrious career, include those instrumental in scoring some of his record 100 international centuries.
The memorabilia will be displayed as part of the "Batography" exhibition, scheduled to open on November 16. The date holds particular significance, coinciding with the 13th anniversary of Tendulkar's retirement from international cricket in 2013.
Beyond the bats themselves, the exhibition will showcase an array of personal items that document the maestro's journey. Helmets, match-worn jerseys, and handwritten notes are among the artifacts included in the collection, offering fans an intimate glimpse into moments that defined his legendary career.
The Mumbai Cricket Association's museum has long been a repository of Indian cricket's rich heritage. The addition of Tendulkar's personal collection is expected to become one of its most prized attractions, drawing cricket enthusiasts from across the country who wish to connect with the milestones of one of sport's greatest batsmen.
