In a video shared by Star Sports, Dinesh Karthik speaks about the historic museum and the importance it holds for the game of cricket.
"Welcome to Lord's-a place where the game doesn't just live; it remembers. Today, I'm taking you on a walk through time-through stories, traditions, and the quiet heartbeat of cricket's most iconic home. Now, this is my favorite corner: the MCC Museum. It may look like a trophy cabinet, but it's filled with stories. That's the Don, the OG. He may not look like much here, but trust me-Sir Don Bradman gave bowlers nightmares for years. And just here, the 1983 display-Kapil Dev's jersey, the World Cup replica. This is the moment Indian cricket grew up. Before that, winning a World Cup felt like science fiction," Karthik said in a video shared by Star Sports.
"This isn't just about cricket gear or old photos. It's about memories, emotions, and the legacy of those who shaped the game. These are the moments that inspired generations. Walking these halls reminds you why people fall in love with the game," Karthik added.
From Kapil Dev's 1983 World Cup-winning jersey to Sir Don Bradman's match shoes to several other important and memorable merchandise. Karthik spoke in detail about everything that is stored in the museum.
In another video shared by Star Sports, Dinesh Karthik took fans through the iconic Lord's long room as well. In the video, he also showed the Lord's Honours Board that has names of players etched in it. He also showed the fans the balcony where Sourav Ganguly famously took his short off in the 2002 Natwest final.
