The Blades of Glory Cricket Museum was formally inaugurated by Sachin Tendulkar in 2012. It is located on the third floor of a residential building and is home to over 12,000 cricket accessories. The museum is owned, curated, and funded by Rohan Pate, a former Under-19 cricketer himself. It is divided into four small rooms and a larger room with banners and cricket equipment that belonged to the Indian Cricket Team. The four small rooms are dedicated to record-making cricketers. The larger room houses different types of equipment and highlights India's World Cup wins.
Spread over 4,000 square feet, the museum houses autographed bats, balls, shoes, pads, jerseys, and so on, from some of cricket’s greatest cricketers. There is a room specially dedicated to Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli, each containing a detailed record of their cricketing careers, including scores, awards, uniforms, equipment, etc. Artefacts from international cricketers like Chris Gayle and Sanath Jayasuriya are also included. Rare items, like caps that belong to former cricketers, torn shoes from iconic balling moments, etc., are also preserved here. The museum boasts of personal visits from cricketers from all over the world. The pictures and posters of these cricketers have been specially signed by them during their visit. Upon entrance, visitors are shown a video that documents the journey of the museum very well.
