IND vs ENG 3rd Test: Ex-India wicketkeeper batter Dinesh Karthik recently gave the fans an emotional tour of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) museum at the Lord's Cricket Ground. Lord's which is known as the Home of Cricket, holds a significant value in cricket's history and the MCC museum is exactly the place where that magic has lived in every photo, jersey, and trophy.

"Welcome to Lord's place where the game doesn't just live; it remembers. Today, I'm taking you on a walk through time through stories, traditions, and the quiet heartbeat of cricket's most iconic home. Now, this is my favorite corner: the MCC Museum. It may look like a trophy cabinet, but it's filled with stories. That's the Don, the OG. He may not look like much here, but trust me-Sir Don Bradman gave bowlers nightmares for years. And just here, the 1983 display of Dev's jersey, the World Cup replica. This is the moment Indian cricket grew up. Before that, winning a World Cup felt like science fiction," Karthik was heard saying in a video posted by Star Sports on their official social media account.

"This isn't just about cricket gear or old photos. It's about memories, emotions, and the legacy of those who shaped the game. These are the moments that inspired generations. Walking these halls reminds you why people fall in love with the game," he said.

The museum is full of one of the best cricketing memories. One such moment was when Karthik was standing in front of Kapil Dev's Kapil Dev's historic 1983 World Cup jersey and it showed a replica of that title which the Men in Blue won for the first time. As far as the Indian fans are concerned, that moment wasn't just about memory but it led to the beginning of a dream which has still inspired lots of people.

In this tour, Karthik tumbled upon lots of brilliant wonders in the museum from Ashes urns to bats being used by legendary players like Sir Don Bradman and the photos of some of the best teams in the world. And what made this tour special was Karthik's association and his admiration for cricket.

Listening to Karthik talk about so much, was a reminder to the fans that cricket is more than the records and the venues- it's also about emotion, legacy, and identity. All the artefacts in that museum had a story and Karthik successfully brought them to life.

The MCC museum isn't just about looking back, but it's the venue that has kept the soul alive. And with the help of Dinesh Karthik's emotional journey, fans across the world saw the spirit that still echoes at the heart of the Lord.
