A legendary moment: 'My first test 100 against England in August 1990’
|
An exhibition of photographs is on display in the city which depicts master batsman Sachin Tendulkar’s incredible journey through his career. Titled The Sachin Tendulkar Journey, the exhibition features 21 most memorable moments in Sachin’s career taken by various photographers during different stages of his career.
What is interesting is that the pictures have been chosen by Sachin himself and carry a description of his memories, in his own words. Royal Bank of Scotland’s Peter Philip, who has co-ordinated the exhibition, says, “Asking Sachin to choose 21 moments from his career was not so difficult. Finding pictures which best reflected Sachin’s feelings for that particular moment was the most challenging part.
“For instance, when Sachin had scored his 41st century in the test against England in2008 in Chennai (which was right after the terror attacks in Mumbai), he particularly asked us to look for a picture of the moment when a woman who was hired to attend to the wicket at the Chidambaram stadium ran down on the ground to congratulate him. It was a great feeling for him because it was the first time a female fan had congratulated him in such a manner. He later dedicated his hundred to the victims of the Mumbai terror attacks,” adds Peter.
The exhibition, on till September 5th at Tao art gallery, depicts a range of moments including his debut in international cricket against Pakistan in 1989 to his double century against South Africa in 2010.
