Mumbai, Nov 13: Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar will donate some of his most prized cricketing possessions, including bats with which he scored several of his 100 international centuries, for display at the MCA Sharad Pawar Cricket Museum in Mumbai.

The collection will be unveiled at a special event on November 16, 2026, marking 13 years since Tendulkar retired from international cricket after playing his 200th Test match against the West Indies at Wankhede Stadium, his home ground.

The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) will introduce a special exhibition titled ‘Batography’, featuring 26 of Tendulkar’s bats along with other memorabilia from his illustrious career.

Inspired by the concept of a biography, the exhibition will narrate Tendulkar’s cricketing journey through the bats he used during some of the most defining moments of his career. Each bat represents a significant chapter in his journey and offers visitors an opportunity to revisit the milestones associated with it.

MCA President Ajinkya Naik said Tendulkar’s contribution to Indian and world cricket went far beyond the records he had created. He described the bats as some of the most personal artefacts of the cricketer’s journey and said the exhibition would help preserve his legacy for future generations.

Along with the bats, visitors will be able to view helmets, jerseys, notes from significant occasions and other memorabilia associated with Tendulkar’s career.

The dedicated exhibition space is expected to offer cricket fans an opportunity to revisit the moments and achievements that shaped one of the most celebrated careers in the sport.
