EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in cricket history - Dr Mohammad Jahangir Khan during the 1932 All-India Tour of England. Standing tall on the hallowed grounds of Lords, he exudes confidence and determination as he prepares to deliver a powerful bowl. However, it is not just his impressive skills that make this image extraordinary. The caption reveals an astonishing incident that occurred during this match against the MCC at Lords. As fate would have it, while delivering one of his lethal deliveries, Dr Khan struck a sparrow mid-flight. The unfortunate bird fell lifeless onto the wicket, leaving everyone stunned by this bizarre turn of events. The impact was so profound that the sparrow's remains were preserved and now find their place in the revered Lords Museum - a testament to both Dr Khan's accuracy as well as an unusual occurrence on the cricket field. Beyond his role in this peculiar incident, Dr Mohammad Jahangir Khan holds another significant title - being the father of Majid Khan, who also made notable contributions to cricket later on. This remarkable photograph from Colorsport Images allows us to witness not only a legendary cricketer but also offers a glimpse into an unforgettable moment where sport intersected with nature in an unexpected way.
