India’s Test Performance at Lord’s

• K.L. Rahul’s second consecutive century at Lord’s marked a significant moment in the Test.
• Rahul’s performance was marked by discipline and a near-flawless innings.
• Pant, despite an injury, played some cheeky shots.
• Jofra Archer’s fast bowling was a challenge for India, but he consistently clocked 140kmph-plus deliveries.
• India’s natural game was backed by Rahul and Pant, who took advantage of England’s short-ball ploy.
• Pant’s halfcentury was a significant achievement, surpassing Vivian Richards’ record of most sixes against England in Tests.
• India’s batting slipped after lunch, with Rahul’s 10th century falling to Bashir off the next delivery.
• Ravindra Jadeja and Nitish Kumar Reddy remained resilient, surviving at least three run-out chances.
• Despite Archer’s four-over burst and Nitish being hit by Stokes, they managed to survive and add 62 runs.
