KL Rahul and Jasprit Bumrah Added to Lord’s Honours Board
KL Rahul and Jasprit Bumrah have earned a prestigious spot on the Lord’s Honours Board after their standout performances in the third Test at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground. The Honours Board commemorates players who deliver exceptional performances, and both Rahul and Bumrah’s names were inscribed following their impressive contributions. A video capturing the proud moment was shared widely on social media.
Meanwhile, with their win in the third Test, England now lead the five-match series 2-1. The fourth Test is set to take place at Old Trafford in Manchester, beginning on July 23. England have already announced their squad for the upcoming match.
In a setback for the hosts, spinner Shoaib Bashir has been ruled out of the remainder of the series due to a finger injury. As a replacement, England have called up left-arm spinner Liam Dawson for the fourth Test.
India, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back and level the series. However, history is not on their side at Old Trafford — the Indian team has never won a Test at this venue. Out of nine matches played here, England have claimed victory in four, while the remaining five have ended in draws.
