A History-Infused Place
Lord’s is more than 200 years old and is referred to as the “Home of Cricket.” It is the headquarters of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), the organization that contributed to shaping the game’s rules. It is not merely a stadium — it’s a living aspect of the history of cricket. Lord’s also boasts the world’s oldest cricket museum, which many cricket enthusiasts wish to see.
A Special Experience For Fans
For spectators, going to Lord’s is not all about viewing a match. You can just sit in the Nursery section, enjoy drinks, and catch the match on a large screen. Even better is that players tend to pass by fans when they head to the nets, so you could get a glimpse of your favorite cricketers when they train.
A Great Spot For Journalists
Lord’s is also unique for reporters. It boasts a chic and cozy media centre in which reporting comes naturally and is enjoyable. The Long Room, used for press conferences, is not only functional — it’s charming. While most other grounds have mundane rooms, Lord’s even makes media work an experience.
Can India Pull This Off?
India and England are playing the third Test match of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025, where the contest has now become highly intense. India has already lost 8 wickets and is less than 80 runs short of chasing a target of 193 runs. The English pacers made a spectacular comeback and redeemed their batters. None of the top-order Indian batters, apart from KL Rahul (39), could create an impact with the bat. Yashasvi Jaiswal (0), Karun Nair (14), Shubman Gill (6), and Rishabh Pant (9) went back to the pavilion without creating much resistance.
