KL Rahul ended up taking home the man of the match award as India routed England by 152 runs at the Lord’s cricket ground in the 2nd England vs India test match
This Indian side just doesn’t know when to give up. Down and about in the first session of day 5 of the second test match, the side overhauled its dreary form as it unlocked its true potential to deliver one of the most memorable wins in the country’s cricket folklore.
At a time when both Rishabh Pant and Ishant Sharma departed early and India found themselves in a quandary, Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah showed their mettle. The two saved a sinking ship, one devoid of any wind in its sails to take India to a solid score as the side declared soon after lunch.
