Shubman Gill On The Verge Of Joining Elite Club If India Wins At Lord’s News24 –


The high-stakes five-match Test series between England and India is ongoing on July 10, with the third match scheduled to be played at the famous Lord’s Cricket Ground in London. With both teams tied at 1-1, each will look to gain the upper hand.

England won the opener by a five-wicket margin, but India came roaring back in the second Test at Edgbaston, winning by a record 336-run margin – their largest-ever victory over England on home soil. But all attention shifts to Lord’s now, where India’s new skipper Shubman Gill has a golden chance to make history.

So far, India have won at Lord’s only three times in the rich history of Test cricket at the ground. And each time they have been captained by a skipper who left an indelible mark.

If Shubman Gill can guide India to yet another victory at Lord’s, he’ll become a part of this elite group – just the fourth Indian skipper to capture a Test at the Home of Cricket. With the pitch likely to provide help for the fast bowlers and both teams desperate for a series advantage, the third Test is set for high drama and possible history in the making.

Indian Captains Who’ve Won at Lord’s:

Captain Year Result Victory Margin
Kapil Dev 1986 India won By 5 wickets
MS Dhoni 2014 India won By 95 runs
Virat Kohli 2021 India won By 151 runs
