If you think you’re a fan of the sport, think again. 

This Dubai resident’s love for cricket has resulted in him creating a museum (basement and ground floor structure) in his backyard in Jumeirah.

Industrialist Shyam Bhatia’s in-house cricket museum holds signed bats, balls, caps and even a special section dedicated to Indian cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar. Though his treasures are currently a private collection, he hopes to move them to a more public location in the near future, so he can share these special memories with other fans too.
