MCA museum to showcase Tendulkar's iconic bats in special exhibition

Mumbai, Nov 11 (UNI) Batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar is set to give cricket fans a rare glimpse into the story behind his record-breaking career, with 26 of his bats, including those used to score his 100 international centuries, becoming part of a special exhibition at the MCA Sharad Pawar Cricket Museum here.
The special collection will be unveiled on November 16, marking 13 years since Tendulkar brought the curtain down on his international career with his 200th Test against the West Indies at the Wankhede Stadium, his home ground.
The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) announced the initiative on Wednesday, describing it as a unique exhibition titled 'Batography'. The display will trace the legendary batter's journey through the bats he used during some of the most memorable moments of his career.
Inspired by the concept of a biography, the exhibition will use each bat to narrate a different chapter of Tendulkar's cricketing life, allowing visitors to connect with the equipment behind some of his greatest achievements.
MCA president Ajinkya Naik said the exhibition would offer cricket lovers an opportunity to understand the personal stories behind Tendulkar's records and milestones.
“Sachin Tendulkar's contribution to Indian and world cricket goes far beyond the records he has created. His journey is woven into the memories of millions of cricket fans, and these bats are among the most personal artefacts of that journey," Naik said.
He added that the association was delighted that Tendulkar had chosen to entrust the museum with such valuable pieces of his cricketing history.
"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. 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 said.
Apart from the 26 bats, the exhibition will feature several other items associated with Tendulkar's career, including helmets, jerseys and handwritten notes from important occasions and milestones.
The dedicated section at the MCA museum is expected to give fans a closer look at the journey of one of cricket's greatest players, preserving the memories and objects associated with a career that inspired generations.
