Visitors' Test Centuries at Lord's - Honours Board
Now, the batting stalwart was back, this time not with his pads on, but in a fine suit to ring the bell at the historic ground to start the proceedings of the second Test between India and England. With a gentle smile on his face, Dravid rang the bell, giving the morning session a green signal as the players from both sides walked on to the field. (Also Read: I’ll give credit to our top-order batsmen - Ajinkya Rahane)
The tradition of ringing the bell was introduced back in 2007 by Keith Bradshaw (the MCC chief then) and has been a ritual ever since. India's Sunil Gavaskar, late Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi and Dilip Vengasarkar have had this opportunity at Lord's in the past. Time to add Rahul Dravid in that list.
