Portrait of Sachin Tendulkar David Buckland (1949) Photographic print on paper Half length portrait of Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar sitting in the Long Room at Lord’s, wearing an India blazer with its crest derived from the Order of the Star of India. Created by artist, photographer and film maker David Buckland, who creates stricking images with lense-based technonogy, it shows the record holding batsman against a striking blue ground with the Long Room doors in the background. Sachin Tendulkar is the most successful, popular and idealised cricketer India has yet produced. He made his first Test appearance at Lord’s aged just 16 in 1990, making only 2 with the bat, but producing a magnificent diving catch to dismiss Allan Lamb in England’s second innings. The only man to have made 100 centuries in international cricket, his highest score at Lord’s is 44, which he made when captaining MCC against a Rest of the World XI in the Lord’s Bicentenary match in 2014.
