Just hours after Muttiah Muralitharan became Test cricket's leading wicket-taker, Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) announced Monday it had unveiled a portrait of the Sri Lanka off-spinner at Lord's.
The specially commissioned oil-on-canvas painting is six feet tall by three-and-a-half feet wide, making it one of the larger exhibits to hang at Lord's, the London home ground of MCC and known to many of the game's followers as 'the home of cricket'.
Many cricket greats have had their portraits displayed at Lord's, including batting legends Sir Donald Bradman, Vivian Richards and Brian Lara, as well as Shane Warne, the man whose record Murali broke on Monday.
