9 Indians Who Have Hit A Century At Lord's Cricket Ground

Lord's is one of the most iconic grounds in cricket. The feel and experience at the 'Mecca Of Cricket' is magical but playing a memorable match at the historic ground is a different feel altogether. 

Even in cricket terms, Lord's isn't the most batting-friendly ground, and scoring a century here is considered to be a great achievement. Only nine Indian players have experienced the magic of scoring a Test hundred at Lord's, let's take a look: 

1) Vinoo Mankad - Former India all-rounder Vinoo Mankad was the first Indian to score a century at Lord's. He scored a brilliant 184 against England in 1952. This is the highest score by an Indian at Lord's, to date.

2) Dilip Vengasarkar - He is the only Indian player to hit three test centuries at Lord's. Vengasarkar's first century came in 1979 when he scored 103 off 295 balls. In 1982, he hit 157 from 264 balls, and in 1986, Dilip Vengasarkar slammed his third century at Lord's - 126 not out. 

3) Gundappa Vishwanath - The former India batter scored a classy 113 at Lord's during India's tour of England in 1979. 

4) Ravi Shastri - The current head coach of the Indian Cricket Team and former all-rounder scored 100 runs during the 1990 tour of England.
