cricket scoreWhen he knocks that century in England on the current tour, he will also become the record holder for most centuries by an Indian batsman against England in England. Both Dilip Vengsarkar and Sachin Tendulkar have scored four hundreds each in England so far. Tendulkar has managed to attract plenty of attention for various reasons including his down to earth habits and image as a calm and well behaved cricketer. Earlier in the month, he was at the cricket academy in England where his young son Arjun was getting trained. When the proud father went to the academy to watch and coach his son, he also gave some valuable tips to the other trainees at the academy without any hesitation.
Tendulkar is understood to be venturing into a cricket related business and is actively marketing his new found ideas in England. He has been holidaying with his family in England when the Indian team was on tour to the West Indies. He even attended the Wimbledon Tennis Championships as a special invitee and met tennis super star Roger Federer during the matches along with his wife Anjali in tow. In fact, he has an apartment in the nearby area of Lord’s and he has been practicing at the nets even before the Indian team arrived in the country. But everything will go to the side when the Mumbai man pads and sets his foot on the hallowed soil of Lord’s as the Indians start their batting. Whether he agrees or not, Tendulkar will be more than anxious to notch up that century of centuries which will etch his name in gold at Lord’s and make him a member of that special club. Far lesser known batsmen than Tendulkar have scored a ton at Lord’s and unless rain plays spoilsport there is every reason to believe that we are going to see a smashing century from the evergreen cricketer.
