Lord’s Cricket Ground in London isn’t just any stadium; it’s famously known as the “Home of Cricket.” Established in 1814, it has hosted some of the most iconic moments in cricket history. Every player, whether from England or any visiting team, dreams of scoring a century at Lord’s and seeing their names etched in the prestigious honors board inside the dressing room.

Getting a century in Test cricket is always special, but doing it at Lord’s holds a different kind of emotion and prestige. With the historic atmosphere and challenging conditions, a hundred here is considered a true test of a batter’s technique and mental strength. Over the decades, Indian batters have faced tough challenges in English conditions, especially at Lord’s, where the ball swings and seams more than most places in the world. Despite these challenges, several Indian players have managed to leave their mark at this legendary venue. Recently, KL Rahul joined an elite list by becoming only the second Indian batter to score multiple hundreds at Lord’s after Dilip Vengsarkar.
