Mumbai, November 11, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar will donate 26 bats, including several used during landmark moments of his international career, along with other prized memorabilia to the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) for display at the MCA Sharad Pawar Cricket Museum.
The dedicated exhibition, titled 'Batography', will be unveiled on November 16, marking 13 years since Tendulkar played his final international match — the 200th Test of his career against the West Indies at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium in November 2013.
Conceived as a biography told through cricketing equipment, the exhibition will trace Tendulkar's remarkable journey through the bats that accompanied him during some of the most memorable moments of his career. The collection includes bats associated with his record 100 international centuries.
Besides the 26 bats, visitors will get to see a selection of personal memorabilia, including helmets, jerseys and handwritten notes from significant occasions in the legendary cricketer's career.
MCA president Ajinkya Naik said Tendulkar's contribution to Indian and world cricket extended far beyond his records, adding that the bats represented some of the most personal artefacts of his journey.
Naik said the exhibition would give visitors an opportunity to understand the stories behind major milestones through the very equipment used to achieve them. He also expressed gratitude to Tendulkar for sharing his prized possessions with the association so that future generations of cricket enthusiasts could access his legacy.
The MCA said the initiative would add a distinctive collection to its museum, allowing fans to revisit the milestones and memories that shaped the career of one of cricket's most influential figures.
