Sachin Tendulkar to gift 26 bats for ‘Batography’ display at Mumbai museum

Mumbai: Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar is set to gift 26 of his cricket bats for display at the Mumbai Cricket Association's (MCA) Sharad Pawar Cricket Museum. The exhibition, titled 'Batography', will showcase Tendulkar's illustrious cricketing career through the bats he used during different phases of his career.

"Through 'Batography', we are bringing a unique dimension to the MCA Museum, allowing visitors to experience the story behind the milestones through the very instruments with which they were created," MCA president Ajinkya Naik said.

"We are honoured that Sachin has chosen to share these prized possessions with the MCA, ensuring that this extraordinary legacy remains accessible to generations of cricket lovers," he added.

The collection, which includes helmets, jerseys and personal notes from significant occasions in his career, will be unveiled on November 16, the 13th anniversary of Tendulkar's retirement from international cricket, in memory of his 200th and final Test against the West Indies at his home ground, the Wankhede Stadium, on November 16, 2013.

The initiative is aimed at preserving and celebrating Tendulkar's contribution to the world of cricket.
