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.
