If you think you’re a fan of the sport, think again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This Dubai resident’s love for cricket has resulted in him creating a museum (basement and ground floor structure)\u00a0in his backyard in Jumeirah.<\/p>\n

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\u00a0a private collection, he hopes to move them\u00a0to a more public location in the near future, so he can share these special\u00a0memories with other fans too.<\/p>\n
