the ashes 2023 Dilip Vengsarkar is Lord of Lords Steve Smith can hardly break the record

New Delhi: It is a matter of pride for any batsman to score a century at the Lord’s Cricket Stadium, which is called the birthplace of cricket. When batsmen from all over the world enter this ground, they try to get their names included in the charismatic list of century-scorers. If someone scores more than one century on this ground, then his stature not only increases in his team, but is also taken with great respect among cricket fans around the world. Steve Smith scored a century on this ground in the second Test against England.

Smith scored second century at Lord’s, included in charismatic list

This is his second century in his Test career at this historic ground. With this, he joined the Australian elite class list of Don Bradman, who scored two centuries here. Apart from Smith, Don Bradman, William Alfred Brown, Warren Bardsley have achieved this feat for Australia. However, the interesting thing is that the Lord of this Lord’s Stadium is an Indian batsman.

Indian Dilip Vengsarkar has 3 centuries in Lord’s

Yes, believe me, Dilip Vengsarkar holds the record for most centuries apart from the English batsman. The former Indian captain has scored 3 centuries at this ground. He played one Test each in 1979, 1982 and 1986 and scored three centuries in three consecutive matches. He had scored 103 runs in 1979, 157 runs in 1982 and 126 not out in 1986. Even today Vengsarkar’s name is written in large golden letters on a board in the hall of the Lord’s Ground.

Graham Gooch and Michael Vaughan have 6-6 centuries

Michael Vaughan and Graham Gooch hold the record for most Test hundreds at this ground. Both of them have scored 6-6 centuries, while Dilip Vengsarkar’s name is at the top among foreign batsmen with 3 centuries. Now Smith has a chance to equal Vengsarkar’s record. However, the English team will try hard to prevent Smith from scoring a century in the second innings of this match.
