Battle of Lords (PHOTO: PTI)
The history created in Edgbaston is definitely encouraging. But now is the time to forget the victory of the victory and think about Lords. The battle of Lords was never easy for Team India. So far, 15 captains of India have landed in Lord’s with their respective teams. However, 12 of them failed to win. Meaning only 3 Indian captains have succeeded in winning a Test in Lord’s so far. Shubman Gill will play in Lord’s for the first time as a captain. In such a situation, the challenge is even bigger for them. The question is, can they register their names in the list of 3 captains winning Lord’s? And, if yes, then what is the flower proof plan to wave the tricolor in Lord’s?
How is Team India record in Lord’s?
First of all, know how Team India’s record is in Lord’s? The Indian team has been playing a Test match at Lord’s since 1932, since then it has played 19 Tests on the ground called cricket, but only 3 India has won. In 12, he had to face defeat while 4 Tests are drawn.
Will Shubman Gill be included in this list?
The 3 Tests in which Team India won Lords, they have been Kapil Dev, MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli. Kapil Dev gave India the first Test victory at Lord’s in 1986. However, after that India had to wait for 28 years to win the second Test win at Lord’s. This wait was handed over under the captaincy of MS Dhoni in 2014. Whereas 7 years later, in 2021, under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, India last waved the tricolor at Lord’s.
What is the equation of Lord’s?
Team India has won the toss in 9 of the last 19 Tests played at Lord’s, while in 10 it has lost the toss. In such a situation, he has batted first in 9 Tests, in which 2 lives, 6 loses and 1 match have been drawn. At the same time, in the 10 Tests in which Team India bowled first, it has been able to win only 1. He has drawn 6 Tests first bowling. While there are 3 test draws.
Shubman Gill has power in Team India!
It is clear that the figures of Lord’s are not in the favor of India from anywhere. But as the current captain of Team India, Shubman Gill said before the Edgbaston Test that his team can defeat any team anytime. His example is seen in Edgbaston and now with the same confidence, the eye will be on the grounds of Lord’s. Team India had never won in Edgbaston, then Shubman Gill’s Ranbankur overturned history. Even on the ground of Lord’s, 3 wins are recorded, so in such a situation it can be expected to win. If you win, Shubman Gill, who won Lord’s, will not only be the fourth captain of India but Team India will also get a 2-1 lead in the series.
