In a rare and iconic photograph captured 57 years ago, boxing legend Muhammad Ali can be seen at Lord’s cricket ground, where another sporting great, Sachin Tendulkar, never managed to score a century despite he scored 100 tons in his career throughout. The year was 1966 when Muhammad Ali, visited Lord’s cricket ground in London.
During his time there, he had the opportunity to chat and bat with Sir Garfield Sobers, widely regarded as one of cricket’s greatest all-rounders, and his West Indies teammates. The meeting took place while Sobers was representing the West Indies in a Test match against England.

Ali’s visit to Lord’s coincided with his second fight against British boxer Henry Cooper. On the other hand, Sachin Tendulkar, the Indian cricketing maestro, had his fair share of battles at Lord’s but never managed to score a century in the five Test matches he played there.
Despite his immense talent and numerous accomplishments in cricket, Tendulkar’s highest score at Lord’s remained 37. His average of 21.66 at the iconic venue does not truly reflect his extraordinary abilities and the remarkable records he set elsewhere.
Muhammad Ali’s visit to Lord’s in 1966 and his interaction with Garfield Sobers and the cricketing community further solidified his status as a global sporting icon. As for Sachin Tendulkar, his legacy in cricket remains unparalleled. Despite not achieving a century at Lord’s, his contributions to the game are indelible.
