Client’s Initial Brief

Cricket Museum at Andheri Sports Complex (by Sahara Welfare Foundation for the B.M.C.) This museum is meant to felicitate the Indian cricket team, concentrating on the world cup tournaments. The museum will include a cafeteria and a merchandising zone as well. . The targeted audience are the youth of India.

The Museum is being built by Sahara and the space is sponsored by the B.M.C. on the request of Shri Uddhav Thackeray.

The museum will have various zones, some of them being celebratory zones for the teams that won the world cups, the history of all the world cups, information about all the teams that participated in the world cup, a screening area, a photograph gallery, etc.

8

Specifications of Objectives to be Achieved

The museum is supposed to look modern.

There must be a lot of light, colour and vibrancy.

The place must be interactive.

The sections of the museum must look connected.

Sahara’s branding must be visible.

All the celebrities who came to watch the match must be shown.

9

Understanding the Brief

Project Summary

The Sahara Cricket Gaurav Point needs to be designed.

It is to be a place where people can gather, can view memorabilia related to the Indian Cricket team’s performance in the I.C.C. World cups.

The space was to be targeted to the youth.

The major focus of this space is the museum gallery, which houses artefacts and information.

It must be a fun place where the spirit of the game and people’s attitude towards it is reflected, yet be a little serious as it is an official museum which is being built by the team’s sponsor.

The museum must celebrate India’s victories in the tournaments.

It must showcase the players who performed well in these tournaments as well Along with this, there will be a café and screening area, which will have a casual atmosphere, a library, which will be formal, and a merchandising area.

All the spaces in S.C.G.P. must look connected.

It was to be completed by January as Mr. Uddhav Thackeray (who was the person behind the idea) could then inaugurate it.

Cricket

Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of 11 players on an oval-shaped field, at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard long pitch. One team bats, trying to score as many runs as possible while the other team bowls and fields, trying to dismiss the batsmen and thus limit the runs scored by the batting team. A run is scored by the striking batsman hitting the ball with his bat, running to the opposite end of the pitch and touching the crease there without being dismissed. The teams switch between batting and fielding at the end of an innings.

In professional cricket the length of a game ranges from 20 overs of six bowling deliveries per side to Test cricket played over five days.

The Laws of Cricket are maintained by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) with additional Standard Playing Conditions for Test matches and One Day Internationals.1

The ICC, the game's governing body, has ten full members The game is played particularly in Australasia, the Indian subcontinent, the West Indies, Southern Africa and England.

Batting, Bowling and Fielding

Fielding

Fielding in the sport of cricket is the action of fielders in collecting the ball after it is struck by the batsman, in such a way as to either limit the number of runs that the batsman scores or get the batsman out by catching the ball in flight or running the batsman out. Cricket fielding position can be broken down into offside and legside parts of the field.

A fielder or fieldsman may field the ball with any part of his person. However, if while the ball is in play he wilfully fields it otherwise (e.g. by using his hat), the ball becomes dead and 5 penalty runs are awarded to the batting side unless the ball previously struck a batsman not attempting to hit or avoid the ball. Most of the rules covering fielders are in Law 41 of the Laws of cricket.

Batting, Bowling and Fielding

Bowling

18

Bowling is the action of propelling the ball toward the wicket defended by a batsman. A player skilled at bowling is called a bowler. Bowling the ball is distinguished from simply throwing the ball by a strictly specified biomechanical definition which restricts the angle of extension of the elbow. A single act of bowling the ball is called a ball or a delivery. Six deliveries make up an Over.

Once a bowler has bowled their over, one of their team mates will bowl an over from the other end of the pitch. The Laws of Cricket govern how a ball must be bowled. If a ball is bowled illegally, an umpire will rule it a no ball. If a ball is bowled too wide of the stumps or too high for the batsman to be able to hit it, an umpire will rule it a wide.The different types of bowlers are fast bowlers, seam bowlers and slow bowlers,. A spin bowler usually delivers the ball quite slowly and puts spin on the ball causing it to bounce at an angle off the pitch.1

Famous Indian Bowlers

Batting, Bowling and Fielding

Batting

Batting is the act or skill of hitting the cricket ball with a cricket bat to score runs or prevent the loss of one's wicket. A player who is currently batting is denoted as a batsman, while the act of hitting the ball is called a shot or stroke. The terms batsman or specialist batsman are also used generically to describe players who specialise in batting.

Famous Indian Batsmen

During an innings two batsmen from the team bat: the one facing the current delivery from the bowler (striker) while the other is the non-striker. When a batsman is out, he is replaced by a team mate. This process continues until the end of the innings, whereupon the other team gets a turn to bat.

Batting tactics and strategy vary depending on the type of match being played as well as the current state of play.

The main concerns for the batsmen are not to lose their wicket and to score as many runs as quickly as possible. 1

O.D.I. World Cup History

1975 The 1975 Cricket World Cup was the first World Cup and comprised a number of 60over matches. India were grouped with England, East Africa and New Zealand and played each of these teams once. In order to advance to the semi-finals they needed to place within the top 2 positions of their pool. However, the running was tough and India did not succeed, following a particularly infamous loss in their opening game.

India lost their first match to hosts England by 202 runs after England scored 334 (4 wickets, 60 overs) in their allotted overs, with help from DL Amiss (137 from 147

The rest of India's World Cup Campaign was less controversial; they picked up an easy 10 wicket win against minnows East Africa (through some more intelligent batting by Sunil Gavaskar (65 from 86 balls, 9 fours) and Farokh Engineer (54 from 93 balls, 7 fours)before bowing out of the tournament in a must-win match against New Zealand. After scoring 230 all out in 60 overs, led by a half-century from Abid Ali (70 from 98 balls, 5 fours, 1 six), Glenn Turner (114 from 177 balls, 13 fours) brought New Zealand home with 4 wickets and 1.1 overs remaining. .

Any hopes of an Indian win were lost after some extremely controversial batting by Sunil Gavaskar (36 from 174 balls, 1 four), who batted through the 60 overs for 36 not out as India scored http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indi a_at_the_Cricket_World_Cup#I ndia_at_the_1983_World_Cup

O.D.I. World Cup History

1979 n the 1979 Cricket World Cup, India was

grouped up with reigning champions the West Indies as well as New Zealand, and minnows Sri Lanka. Once again, the matches were played in 60-over ODI. India got off to a bad start after their top order capitulated to a strong West Indies, with only Gundappa Viswanath (75 from 134 balls, 7 fours) putting up any resistance. They eventually lost by 9 wickets, the only wicket being that of Desmond Haynes, nabbed LBW by Kapil Dev, as Gordon Greenidge (106 from 173 balls) put up an unbeaten West Indian century.

The next match practically ended their World Cup Campaign, with a 8-wicket loss at the hands of New Zealand. The match was reasonably close as India were all out for 182 with 5 overs to spare, with only Sunil Gavaskar (55 from 144 balls, 5 fours) putting up any resistance, and New Zealand had only 3 overs remaining to achieve their target. All bowlers

O.D.I. World Cup History

1983 In the 1983 Cricket World Cup, India was given a boost in that it would be able to play two matches against each of the three teams in its pool. The only minnows in the World Cup were the Zimbabwe cricket team, a team that India was grouped with. India were also grouped with the West Indies and Australia, creating formidable matchups for a team that had become known for its inability to perform in the World Cup. India opened up their campaign against the favourites, the West Indies. But it shocked all observers with a 34 run victory thanks to a strong performance from Yashpal Sharma (89 from 120 balls, 9 fours). India totalled up 262 in 60 overs and tumbled the West Indies out for 228, thanks to a quick 3 wickets from Ravi Shastri. A confident team went on to deal out a thrashing against Zimbabwe, chasing down the total of 156 with 23 overs and 5 wickets to spare, helped by a half-century from Sandeep http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indi a_at_the_Cricket_World_Cup#I ndia_at_the_1983_World_Cup

Madan Lal was the destroyer in chief with his three wickets. However, the confidence

and morale were short-lived as India was dealt out a 162 run thrashing from Australia 2 days later. India collapsed to 158 attempting to chase Australia's mammoth 320.

As India entered the second half of the group stage, they opened up with a loss against the West Indies by 66 runs. Vivian Richards (119 from 146 balls) took the West Indies to 282 in 60 overs, a score that India was unable to chase despite Mohinder

Australia was still a must win. But India made light work, winning by 118 runs thanks to 4-wicket hauls by Madan Lal and Roger Binny. ndia's semi-final match against England contained no drama. India coasting to a 6 wicket victory. The major contributors were Yashpal Sharma (61 from 115 balls, 3 fours, 2 sixes), Mohinder Amarnath (46 from 92 balls, 4 fours, 1

Zimbabwe was to become famous for the remainder of history. The favourites, India, were 5-17 by an emerging Zimbabwe bowling lineup. A defeat would have made qualifying for the semifinal impossible, but Kapil Dev's (175 from 138 balls, 16 fours, 6 sixes)* famous innings took India to 266 (he combined with Syed Kirmani (24 from 56 balls, 2 fours) in a 126 run 9th wicket partnership). The Zimbabwe batsmen got starts but were once again hampered by Kapil Dev and Madan Lal who got 4 wickets between them. India ended up winning by 31 runs. However, the last match against

picked up 3-35 to seal a victory that took India to the World Cup final. The final was considered somewhat of an anticlimax, most expecting a clear West Indies win although India had beaten them in the preliminary rounds. The West Indies tumbled India out for 183, with Kris Srikkanth (38 from 57 balls, 7 fours, 1 six) top scoring, and were cruising on their way to a memorable victory at 2-57, with Vivian Richards (33 from 28 balls) at the head before suffering a major collapse. They were

O.D.I. World Cup History

1987 India was the host of the 1987 Cricket World Cup and was expected to perform seeing as it was the reigning champions. It was grouped in Pool A with Australia, New Zealand and Zimbabwe. The matches had been reduced to 50 overs to accommodate for the number of daylight hours on the Indian subcontinent. India's start to the tournament was bright, as it topped the pool, getting 5 wins and only 1 loss, this loss being by only 1 run. It carried this out despite the fact that it lacked the likes of its past World Cup heroes: Mohinder Amarnath and Madan Lal, India's team was still captained by Kapil Dev and featured veterans like Sunil Gavaskar.

The first match of the tournament for India was arguably the most eventful http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indi a_at_the_Cricket_World_Cup#I ndia_at_the_1983_World_Cup

one. Australia won the match by just 1 run, after piling up 270 in their first innings, helped by a century from Geoff

Marsh (110 from 141 balls). India were all out for 269 with one ball remaining in the match, leaving the possibility of a tie or victory within their grasp. The performance was heartening, however, because of the strong batting of Kris Srikkanth (70 from 83 balls, 7 fours) and Navjot Sidhu.

India went into the semi-finals facing the mouth-watering prospect of facing arch-rivals Pakistan in the final. But to the horror of fans, their world cup campaign ended in the Semis against England. A strong performance from Mohammed Azharuddin (64 from 74 balls, 7 fours) pulled India within reach of the target, but the tail failed to capitalize, India losing by 35 runs with 5 overs to spare.

1992 India began badly, losing to England by nine runs. Their second match against Sri Lanka was abandoned due to rain and Australia sneaked home in their third match by only 1 run, despite a strong batting performance from Mohammed Azharuddin (93 off 103 balls). Their first win of the tournament came in the next match against rivals Pakistan in which Sachin Tendulkar top-scored (54 runs,62 balls, 3 fours) and Kapil, Srinath and Prabhakar bowling well took 3 wickets each, followed by a win against minnows Zimbabwe, the win was by a commanding 55 runs, with Sachin Tendulkar (81 from 77 balls, 8 fours, 1 six) leading the way. India was practically knocked out of the tournament in the next match through its loss to the West Indies by 5 wickets.

It went on to lose to New Zealand and South Africa. It only won 2 of its 8

matches, knocking it firmly out of contention for the semi-finals. India ended seventh on the table, above only Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe.

Even the general player performances were at best, lacklustre, Mohammed Azharuddin was the leading batsman, scoring 332 runs in 7 matches without a century included. Sachin Tendulkar scored 283 runs in 7 innings that included 3 fifties. Tendulkar also ended up with a strike rate of 83.98, 6th in the tournament. The highest batting strike rate in the tournament was that of Kapil Dev, who carried a strike rate of 124.81.

1996 India were the co-hosts of the 1996 Cricket World Cup along with Pakistan and Sri Lanka and were expected to perform well at home. Changes in format included the re-use of a group format, in which there were two pools of six, after which the top four from each group prgogressed to the quarterfinals.

India started their World cup campaign well with beating Kenya, first restricting them to 199/6. India played the next match against West Indies to whom they bowled all out at 173.

India's third placing in the group left them with a quarter final matchup against arch rivals Pakistan, who had finished second in their group at Bangalore.

Mahanama helped Sri Lanka to a total

of 8/251. India made a solid start, with Sachin Tendulkar scoring a halfcentury and taking India to 1/98.

However, the pitch began to crumble and take more spin, and when Tendulkar was stumped, the incoming batsmen were unable to cope with the four pronged spin-attack of Jayasuriya, de Silva, Muttiah Muralitharan and Kumar Dharmasena, who took 6 wickets as India lost 7/22 to slump to 8/120. At this point, sections of the crowd began setting fire to the stands and throwing missiles onto the field.

Play was stopped as the crowd's anger began to develop into a dangerous riot.

Umpires decided that Sri Lanka be awarded the game due to India's hopeless position, knocking them out of the World Cup.

1999 The 1999 Cricket World Cup in England was one in which India were not expected to perform too well.

Despite having the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid, they weren't having too much of a good run. India was placed in Group A in the pool rounds against South Africa, Zimbabwe, hosts England, reigning champions Sri Lanka and minnows Kenya.

India opened up with a close loss to South Africa in the final overs of the match. India made up for their early losses with a very convincing win over Kenya by 94 runs. They followed on with a record win against Sri Lanka by 157 runs.

They went on to seal a place in the Super Six competition with a win against home side England by 63 runs .India entered the Super Sixes segment as the team that came second in Pool A.

Their strong performances in the Pool Stage did not give them a point boost going into the next segment, as they had taken losses to both of the other teams that had advanced through to the next stage from Pool A. They began badly through a loss against Australia by 77 runs, with only Ajay Jadeja (100 from 138 balls, 7 fours, 2 sixes) and Robin Singh (75 from 94 balls, 5 fours, 3 sixes) putting up any resistance. They then continued their now extremely strong record against Pakistan in World Cup's with yet another convincing victory over their long-term rivals; the win was by 47 runs.

India was eliminated from the tournament after their last match of the tournament against New Zealand was a dead rubber.

2003 India were beginning their 2003 Cricket World Cup Campaign on a string of poor performances. Their first match was against minnows Holland, who tumbled the Indian batsmen out for just 204.

The next match on India's list was against world champions Australia.

Australia scored the target in 22.2 overs, only losing one wicket. The Indian performances in the first two matches triggered uproar within India, player effigies were said to be burnt on streets and the Board of Control for Cricket in India was under immense pressure to reshuffle the team at the end of the World Cup.

burnt on streets and the Board of Control for Cricket in India was under immense pressure to reshuffle the team

at the end of the World Cup. India were untroubled in the Super Six stage and continued their streak of strong performances with three wins out of three matches. This brought India into the semi-finals against over performing minnows Kenya.

India was then to be in the-important World Cup grand final with Australia, but Australia dominated from the very start, achieving 105 runs in 14 overs before losing a single wicket. India never stood a chance after Sachin Tendulkar lost his wicket for just 4.

Virender Sehwag (82 from 81 balls, 10 fours, 3 sixes) and Rahul Dravid (47 from 57 balls, 2 fours) shared a partnership of 88 runs in 13.2 overs, bringing India to 3/147. With India scoring at 5.96 runs an over, the batsmen were scoring fluently, but India's wickets were falling too quickly.

India lost their last 7 wickets for only 87 runs to score 234 (all out, 39.2 overs).

O.D.I. World Cup History

2007 India, this time had gone to the West Indies with 2 convincing home series wins against West Indies and Sri Lanka.

For the 2007 tournament, India had what was considered a decent World Cup squad, as it had three batsmen who had scored more than 10,000 ODI runs (Sachin Tendulkar, Saurav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid), world class spin bowling in the form of Harbhajan Singh and Anil Kumble and a decent pace bowling attack. They were pitted against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and World Cup debutants Bermuda in Group B. India's World Cup campaign started disastrously, as they lost to Bangladesh in the opener, leaving them with two must-win matches in their group.

India next scored 413 against Bermuda, the highest score by India in one-day cricket and the highest team total in a World Cup game.

Due to their loss to Bangladesh, India's presence in the tournament depended on them defeating Sri Lanka.

The Indians batting crumbled against the Sri Lankan bowling attack, with only Dravid and Sehwag showing some resistance. India were all out for only 185, considered surprising given India's batting strength and the battingfriendly nature of the Queen's Park Oval. With one victory and two losses, India were hence knocked out of the World Cup. Bangladesh's win over Bermuda cemented India's exit. It was also the first time since 1992 that the Indian cricket team failed to progress to the latter stages of the tournament.

O.D.I. World Cup History

2011 As the host nation for the 2011 World Cup, India were expected to perform well, and were considered pretournament favorites by the media and press. Like in 2007, India came into the World Cup on a string of strong performances, both at home and abroad.

India’s 2011 World Cup campaign started with an 87-run win against an overmatched Bangladesh squad in Dhaka.

India next played England at Bangalore.

On a batting-friendly track at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, India chose to bat first. After the 45th over, India was 3/305 and were looking to pass 350 during the batting Powerplay. Instead, English bowler Tim Bresnan (5-48) engineered a collapse with four quick http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indi a_at_the_Cricket_World_Cup#I ndia_at_the_1983_World_Cup

wickets in 16 deliveries, as India slumped to a still-formidable total of 338 all out.

It was only the fourth tied match in World Cup history. In their third group match, India defeated minnows Ireland by 5 wickets.

India’s fourth match was against the Netherlands, at Feroz Shah Kotla. After choosing to bat first, Netherlands was restricted to 189 all out, with Zaheer Khan and Yuvraj Singh doing most of the damage. Despite Virender Sehwag’s blistering start, India’s run-chase started out poorly, as they slumped to 4/99. And, once again, it was Yuvraj Singh who guided India to victory in a crucial 5th-wicket stand with Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

India’s next group match was against South Africa in Nagpur. It was India’s first loss in their World Cup campaign.

India’s final group match was against the West Indies in Chennai. India chose to bat first. Yuvraj Singh and Virat Kohli batted well but received little support from the rest of the lineup, as India were all out for 268. With Devon

Smith leading the way, the West Indies reached 2/154 before losing their last 8 wickets for 34 runs, allowing India to coast to an 80-run victory. With this victory, India reached the quarterfinals and finished second in Group B. In the quarterfinals, India faced defending champions Australia in Ahmedabad. Australia won the toss and chose to bat first. Captain Ricky Ponting and Brad Haddin scored fluently, but Ravi Ashwin, Zaheer Khan, and Yuvraj Singh took wickets at regular intervals to restrict Australia to 6/250 in 50 overs. Tendulkar Gambhir and Yuvraj Singh all scored half-centuries in the reply, as India chased down the target with 5 wickets and 14 deliveries to spare India next played arch-rival Pakistan in the semifinals. India won the toss and chose to bat first. With India slumping at 5/187, Suresh Raina (36 from 39 balls, 3 fours) shored up the tail as India reached 9/260 in 50 overs. All five

O.D.I. World Cup History

Indian bowlers took two wickets in the Pakistani reply, as Pakistan fell behind the run rate and were bowled all out for 231 with 1 delivery remaining.

Misbah-ul-Haq top scored for Pakistan, but his slow start allowed the required run-rate to balloon beyond Pakistan’s reach.

This set up an India-Sri Lanka matchup for the final, held at Wankhede Stadium. On a batting-friendly pitch, Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bat first. Zaheer Khan, using the new ball, bowled three maiden overs and took the wicket of Upul Tharanga to leave Sri Lanka at 1/31 after 10 overs – their lowest 10-over score in the tournament.

However, Mahela Jayawardene rebuilt the Sri Lankan innings with a superb century, helped by captain Kumar Sangakkara Nuwan Kulasekara and Thisara Perera plundered 91 runs from the last 10 overs, lifting Sri Lanka to a formidable total of 6/274 after 50 overs.

India’s run chase began badly, as

Sehwag and Tendulkar were bowled cheaply by Lasith Malinga to leave India at 2/31 from 6.1 overs. However, Gautam Gambhir rebuilt the Indian innings with an 83-run partnership for the third wicket with Virat Kohli. After Kohli was caught and bowled to leave India at 3/114, Gambhir and Mahendra Singh Dhoni scored 109 runs for the fourth wicket, in a vicious attack on the tiring Sri Lankan bowlers. After Gambhir played on, Yuvraj Singh and Dhoni carried India to the required total, with Dhoni blasting a massive six off the final delivery. India would win the match by six wickets. Dhoni was named Man of the Match for his assault on the Sri Lankan bowling attack. With the win, India secured their first World Cup finals victory since 1983.Sachin Tendulkar was the second-highest run scorer in the tournament Zaheer Khan took 21 wickets, and was the leading wicket-taker in the World Cup along with Shahid Afridi Yuvraj Singh, who

scored 362 runs and took 15 wickets, was named Man of the Tournament.

Located on Level B1 of the Members Pavilion, the 400-square metre Melbourne Cricket Club Museum has more than 1500 artefacts on display, showcasing the rich history of the club and the ground it manages.

The centrepiece is the story of the mythical Ashes, where the club's outstanding collection of related memorabilia includes the famous Blackham Ball and an exquisite silver "urn" from manager Frank Laver's successful tour of England in 1909.

The Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC) Museum Collection has a social history collection, with sport representing the underlying theme.

The MCC Museum has evolved into one of the greatest sporting collections on the world stage from its origins as an informal collection of items retained by the club relating to its sporting and social events together with administration of the club and the MCG.

Somerset Cricket Museum

Somerset Cricket Museum in Taunton, Somerset, England is a small museum housing exhibits on the history of cricket with a particular emphasis on the history of Somerset County Cricket Club. It also has a section devoted to the England women's cricket team, as the County Ground is their headquarters.

The building, which is within the confines of the County Ground, is the Old Priory Barn, a Grade II listed building. It is the only surviving building of the Augustinian Taunton Priory which was founded in 1115, although there is some evidence that its early use was not as a barn but as a guesthouse or quarters for a Priory official.

Conceptualization

Venue

The museum is to be at Andheri Sports Complex in Andheri West, Mumbai.

Andheri Sports complex is located in the suburb of Andheri, (10 minutes away from Andheri Station). It is surrounded by J.P. Road on one side and Veera Desai Road on the other, with residential buildings flanking the remaining two sides. Both the roads have entrances to the complex, the main entrance being from J.P. Road.

The complex has various facilities. The space allocated to the building also has a gym, and squash and tennis courts next to it. There is also a hostel facility on the 2nd and 3rd floor of the building.

TheVeera Desai Road entrance is closer to the museum building but most of the people use the J.P. Road entrance as it is the main one, and is closer to the parking lot.

Conceptualization

The 2011 section will have the following zones.

Introduction

Venues

This gives an insight into the tournament, the hosts, the venues,

Since India was also a host nation for this years tournament, the

and the countries that played. It also talks about the matches

venues of the matches will also briefly be spoken about.

played between teams and where they were played.

Matches The matches that will be talked about here are the ones which India played in order to qualify for the finals and finally win the tournament.

The statistics if each match must be displayed.

Group Matches India vs. Bangladesh India vs. England India vs. Irelands India vs. Netherlands India vs. South Africa India vs. West Indies Quarter Final: India vs. Australia Semi Final: India vs. Pakistan Final: Sri Lanka vs, India 104

Objects and Memorabilia: The Introduction will have memorabilia related to the tournament as a whole and countries Each match will have objects associated with it eg. the coin that was tossed, the tickets to the match, and any other objects.

The venues section would have photographs or scaled models of the stadiums. The tickets for each of these matches that were played in these stadiums can be put here.

Conceptualization

A huge display that shows the Indian team standing for the National Anthem in their uniforms. All the attire they play with is displayed here. They are standing on the pitch at whose end the stumps from the winning match are displayed.

This will have a perforated vinyl print of the crowd in the stadium behind them, The perforation enables people to see the display from the back too, at the same time giving a sense of context to the figures standing.

The trophy can be placed in front of MS Dhoni (in the center) as he captained the team.

105

Conceptualization

Positioning the Display The display in the center needs more space for viewing. If exhibits are placed on either side of it, there isn’t enough place for people to simultaneously view both exhibits together.

Pushing the display against the back wall solves that problem, leaving the center space open for touch screens. Touch screens are to be used to display the records, statistics etc. which are available online anyway, so wouldn’t be of interest to a majority of the audience.

There is also a hologram which plays some of the highlights of the tournament. The sport basically involves a lot of movement, which is seen by different viewpoints based on where the audience is seated in the stadium. Thus this gives a partial 3D effect.

There is a display on the wall opposite the standing figures which has other artefacts from the tournament on display.

106

Conceptualization

Positioning the Display Touch screens along with panels were proposed. The panel would have an L.C.D. or L.E.D. screen which would display the timeline of the match and photographs that were taken (since all the photographs are in a digital format). The touch screen would have the statistics and records of the match of both the teams and the players.

I tried different ways of laying out these panels in the space. The last one worked best.

107

Conceptualization

The wall above the cricketers would have the flags of all the participating countries and would be arranged according to the group they were in for the world cup.

The case would be made of glass, and have the people-like shapes that are used in all their graphical work as a boundary, following the graphic language.

108

Conceptualization

In the previous concept, the idea of two screens was a little complicated. Instead, there could be one screen, over which a baseless model of a stadium was placed. This would show the stadium in which the match was played, and on the base there would be an image of the pitch on the touchscreen. All the runs could be shown ball by ball (like we see in a wagon wheel). Images from the match can also be seen on the screen.

The sides of the stand can be used to depict any kind of information. They could have flags of the countries, or images from the start/end of the match.

“Just take a moment to reflect things. Try to imagine what the feeling is to be in those shoes; whether it be the captain, the coach, the player, the fan; that real feeling of success, joy and reward.”

- taken from the commentary of the final match of the 2011 world cup

Based on this line, I tried to make the audience relive the moment they saw on their TV screens, through someone else’s eyes.

The matches are recorded by numerous cameras. The museum could show the views of the stadium from these points, showing the stadium from the point of view of the stumps, or the players, or umpires.

Different views of the field could be considered. Most people have only seen the match from the point of view of the camera on their television sets. The matches are recorded by numerous cameras.

Introduction

The introduction wall is a circular table that is on a touch screen. The whole action of spinning is used here when the visitor has to touch one part and all the information related to the scheduling of that particular date/country/venue is displayed.

The visual is also similar to a plan of a cricket pitch. The original one was created by Pepsi, but can be modified/ the rights to use it can be bought by the museum.

The wall with the screen. (right) The visual language followed here is based on what is used in the promotional material.

All the information regarding the matches is available online and is easily accessible.

The way it is presented in the museum is what will lure the visitors to it.

The touch screen with the graphic works better than the table as it is more interactive. Since the museum is targeting the youth, the more engaging the display the better.

Alongside is the video wall which is also the first thing that people see when they enter the zone. The wall acts as a cricket board most of the time, displaying various pictures, advertisements, country flags, relevant governing body logos, etc.

The video wall will play the videos periodically, with the commentary in different languages (English, Hindi and Marathi).

Lighting Lighting Specifications •Recessed L.E.D. lights(6 pieces) •1W; 450 lumen L.E.D. lights are used as they are long lasting.

In a place like this, all the materials and equipment used had to be something that doesn’t damage easily and lasts for long.

They also use less power than other kinds of lights even though they are slightly more expensive. This would increase the initial cost, but would reduce the electricity charges over a period of time.

This 1 Watt recessed light with one super bright 1 watt warm-white LED provides excellent museum quality illumination for artwork or architectural hightlighting. It is rotatable/pointable in it's own fixture to provide angled two-directional lighting. This light unit barely gets warm and is never too hot to touch so there are no worries ever about fire and it helps to keep your HVAC costs much lower than than other typical incandescant or fluorescent recessed fixtures. Plus there are no toxins or mercury vapor associated with standard fluorescent lighting. Comes pre-wired for 110V or 220V with standard houshold plug.

Approved Concept

However, when I started working with Mr Das Gupta, the project had already started.

Negotiations were on with the B.M.C. over the feasibility of the proposed design.

The following was what had been approved prior to me joining the project.

Hence, the design could not be changed drastically. Whatever modifications had to be made, had to be done subtly.

133

Initial Concept

Initially the project was limited to one hall (the main hall).

There was to be a display, merchandising zone, seating area, cafĂŠ, and theater/screening area within the space The entry was to be from the corridor side and not outside.

137

Intermediate Concept

Once this design was approved, the corridor and hall were added to the space. The layout of the zones changed, and more zones were added.

Earlier the different zones like the cafeteria and theater were occupying more area than the actual display area for the museum. Now that more area was added, it was possible to accomodate all these zones comfortably.

Final Concept

Once I joint the project, I familiarized myself with the existing drawings and layouts.

The museum was being made by Sahara on the request of Uddhav Thackeray. This implied that there were to be sections where they would have to be given importance.

The balls for the entrance and exit, and the helmet had been suggested by the B.M.C. architect and had to be incorporated.

We did not have any kind of checklist for the objects to be displayed even though we repeatedly asked for them. Numerous presentations were sent explaining the kind of objects that could be given to us.

The zoning for the museum was then done as follows: Introduction + Sahara

kept in 3 languages.

Celebration This is just a collection of all the fans and things that they do during the world cup matches. Placed in the screening zone, this is primarily a collection of photographs. There is space to keep objects if needed.

Final Concept

The whole space had to have a warm feel to it, at the same time look slightly futuristic.

The use of numerous yellow lights and metal enabled us to have that.

143

Final Concept

The helmet was used as the 2011 display and the stands were for 1983 and 2003 respectively.

The captain’s gallery is also in the main gallery of the museum. This would have screens playing videos and space for photographs to be displayed.

The corridor was decided to be enclosed as most of it would be facing a wall outside. A plus point to adding an opaque wall there was that there was one more vertical surface to use for displays.

The corridor was to be given niches to place objects related to India’s history in the tournament.

144

Final Concept

The entrance and exit are two scaled up cricket balls. There is a ramp leading upto the door to make it more accessible. There would be space for drainage in front of the grass patch so that excess water doesn’t accumulate hence avoiding stagnation. In between the two balls, there is a mural (made of fibre) depicting the winning team holding the world cup.

The building is painted yellow. In order to match that, Aluminum Composite Panels were used that were a similar shade. These were used as they are long lasting and don’t fade over time.

145

146

Final Concept

The wall along the entrance would have 3 zones in between to be used for display. It was to follow the zoning of the 3 major tournaments. The center zone was for the 2011 players’ pictures.

There were to be stands in front of the 1983 and 2003 zones for information about the players’ performances in those tournaments.

Long suspended lights were to be used for illuminating this display.

147

Final Concept

A curved stage was used Block Model

Block Model

as a rectangular one would occupy too much space, making the theater section look very small.

For the captains gallery, an octagonal shape was used so that there are 7 surfaces available for display. The number 7 was chosen as there were 14 teams, and making a 14 sided tunnel like structure would take up too much space (using the same base width).

148

Final Concept

The display stand for the 2003 and 1983 zones was inspired from the form of the world cup trophy.

149

Final Concept

There was not much vertical space in the corridor to display . Each year would get one wall and barely any floor space as the corridor was only 13’ wide.

Existing poster stands could be used to display panels in the corridor area.

The facing panels could be of each country in the tournament. One side could have a picture of the team members and the other side would have their information. This was feasible as there were no objects from other countries to display.

150

Final Concept

The counter in the cafĂŠ area was to follow the form of the space. It was to have a back lit front, and a serving area and a preparatory area.

151

Final Concept

The staircase to the security room was being decided. A spiral staircase would have been less obstructive, but it would be difficult to carry equipment up that.

A curved staircase was also worked out, but was too impractical, hence discarded.

Eventually a simple straight staircase was made, with wooden steps and glass rails.

152

Final Concept

The toilets had to be revamped to match the museum as they were in a pitiable condition. Since the toilets were common for the building, we couldn’t make it look like they exclusively belonged to the museum.

Thus a scheme of white, blue and gray was used, as blue is the colour of the uniform for most of our national level sports teams.

For the opening, the entrance, main gallery, corridor and theater were to be completed.

The cafeteria and exterior area for the pitch was to be ready by the 25th of January.

Once the museum was inaugurated we got a clearer idea of what all could go wrong.

The visitors liked posing with all the artefacts. Everything kept being touched and prodded despite the signs that said “Do not touch” We now needed to encase things as much as we could as the budget couldn’t overshoot the initial proposed budget by a huge margin. The museum still looked dark, we proposed for more lights to be added.

The final stand for the 2011 unit (which was earlier 2003 but was made an extension of 2011 as there was very little information and no images and objects from the 2003 cup).

The railing around the base was added so that people don’t step over it and onto the platform.

It was suggested to Sahara that acrylic units be made for the display of the T-shirts but they weren’t ready to invest more in the museum .Therefore their current units were shifted inwards The base of the figures had a green mat put on it to make it look like grass.

Conclusion

The gallery, housed at the Shahji Raje Sports Complex, displays numerous memorabilia associated with the World Cups won by India in 1983 and 2011 respectively.

Apart from the statues of the Indian players, who were part of the winning squads, the cricket kits used by them and a large number of photographs are also placed under one roof to enable cricket enthusiasts to take a tour down the memory lane.

"People can also watch the highlights of the world cup finals on the LCD screens when India became world champions on two occasions. We don't want to say what the BCCI did for cricket. But we are connected with people and therefore this gallery has been built," Uddhav Thackeray said.

The willows bearing autographs of prominent players since the World Cup event started in 1975 are also on display.

Sahara Cricket Gaurav point was a success. The audience liked it. It was inaugurated by Shri. Sunil Gavaskar, who said “If cricket in India is a religion, this is their temple.
