Getting a century at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground in London is considered a holy grail for batters around the world. It's a matter of pride for a cricketer to play at the 'Home of Cricket' and scoring a century at the venue is of great pride.
It's been almost a century since India began playing Test matches against England, and so far, only 10 Indian batters have managed to score a hundred in the red-ball format at Lord's.
However, batters like Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli retired from the format without a single ton at Lord's. Vengsarkar and KL Rahul are the only Indian batters to score more than one century at the English venue.
In July 2026, the Lord's Cricket Ground threw the doors open for a first historic women's Test, between India and England. Yastika Bhatia became the first Indian women's batter to get onto the Lord's honours board as she scored 113 in a winning effort for her country.
A few days later, Rohit Sharma notched another first for India. In the series deciders against England on Sunday, July 19, Sharma became the first Indian batter to score a century in ODIs.
