In 2014, Lord’s Stadium in England and the Marylebone Cricket Club was celebrating 200 years of its existence. On that occasion, a 50-over match was organized between Marylebone Cricket Club and Rest of the World captained by Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne, respectively. MCC won the match, courtesy of a 181 by Aaron Finch. Shane Warne had won the toss for ROW and decided to bat first at the Lord’s. After which, ROW scored 293 runs with the help of a hundred by Yuvraj Singh.
A video was put out by the social media page of the Lord’s Cricket Stadium. It was a video taken on a GoPro camera fixated on the helmet of Adam Gilchrist. A 6 minute 38 second long video grabs your attention as it provides a POV experience of an international-level cricket match. The visual of Gilchrist and Sehwag coming out to open the innings from the lobby of Lord’s Stadium packed with men with red and yellow stripes ties, applauding is one of the best things you’d see. Sehwag is seen being in his own in the video. We also see Sachin, Lara, Brett Lee and others walk out to the applause of the MCC members.
