EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures an intriguing moment during the historic 1st Test match between India and England, which took place in Chandigarh in the late 1950s. The Northcliffe Collection, from the archives of the Mail Newspapers, preserves this precious image that transports us back in time. The scene unfolds on the outskirts of the cricket ground, where local guards are intently watching the match unfold. Their focused attention is a testament to the widespread appeal and excitement that cricket generates, even among those who may not have the means to attend the game in person. The guards, dressed in their uniforms, are seated on the ground, their eyes glued to the match, oblivious to the world around them. The players, dressed in their crisp white uniforms, can be seen in the distance, engaged in an intense battle on the field. The contrast between the action on the field and the tranquility of the guards' watchful presence adds to the intrigue of the photograph. The image also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the rich history of cricket in India and its enduring appeal across all walks of life. This photograph is a reminder of the universal language of cricket and the unique connection it creates between people, regardless of their backgrounds or circumstances. The Northcliffe Collection's preservation of this image ensures that future generations can continue to appreciate the beauty and significance of this iconic moment in cricket history.
