For any cricketer, doing well at Lord's is not just about scoring runs or taking wickets. It is about etching their names in history.
Known as the "Home of Cricket", Lord's Cricket Ground in London carries more than two centuries of tradition, and one of its most prestigious recognitions is a name etched on the honours board.
From Mohammad Nissar in 1932 to the addition of Rohit Sharma and two from the Indian women's cricket team in 2026, only a handful of Indian players have achieved this rare honour.
India now have 20 Tests at Lord's, including the first women's Test at Lord's, starting from their very first international appearance in 1932.
Over the years, several legends have played at the venue but only a select few have left their names on the wall.

The Lord's honours boards are mounted inside the dressing rooms at the Pavilion. They record individual performances in Tests - specifically, centuries, five-wicket hauls in an innings and ten-wicket match hauls.
Since 2019, ODIs have also been included on the Honours Boards, opening the door for both men and women. India Women made history by playing their first-ever Test at Lord's in 2026, and Kranti Gaud and Yastika Bhatia became the first Indian women to earn places on the iconic boards with a five-wicket haul and a century respectively.
Besides Rohit Sharma's 110-ball 138, no Indian cricketer has made the Lord's ODI Honours Board, while no or five-wicket haul has been recorded by an Indian player across men's and women's ODIs at the venue.

From Vinoo Mankad's 184 in 1952 to Rohit Sharma becoming the first Indian to score a ODI century at the venue in 2026, Indian batters have had their moments of glory at Lord's.
Yastika Bhatia's 113 in 2026 made her the first woman to score a Test century at Lord's in India's second innings.
One name stands out: Dilip Vengsarkar - the only Indian with three Test centuries at the venue, including back-to-back hundreds in 1979 and 1982.
The only other Indian to score multiple Test centuries at Lord's is KL Rahul - 129 and 100 in 2021 and 2025 respectively.

India's first-ever Test match at Lord's in 1932 saw Mohammad Nissar get a five-wicket haul. Since then, several others have followed.
Debutant Kranti Gaud became the first woman to feature on the board after taking 5/37 in England's first innings in the historic Lord's Test match in 2026.
Ishant Sharma’s 7/74 in 2014 remains one of the finest fast-bowling efforts by an Indian at the ground.
