Five surprising names on the Lord's Honours Board

The Lord's Honours Board

Sunil Gavaskar

ICC Cricket World Cup 'One Year To Go'

Former Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar is certainly a legend of the sport as he became the first batsman to score 10,000 runs in Test cricket. During his time, he is one of the most fearless batsmen in the world as he took on the fiery fast bowlers from West Indies and Australia with ease.

By the time he retired, he had 10122 runs with 34 centuries in Tests, numbers that were the most by any batsman in the format at the time of his retirement. None of his 34 centuries for India came at Lord's with his highest being 59. But, the legendary batsman's name went into the board after he scored a 188 for Rest of the World against Marylebone Cricket Club in 1987.

That wasn't a Test match but the organisers decided to honour the top performers in that match by putting their names in the Lord's Honours Board.
