Shubman Gill-led India will lock horns against Ben Stokes' England in the third Test of the ongoing five-match Test series at Lord's, starting from Thursday. The series is currently locked 1-1.
A historic outing with the bat by skipper Shubman Gill and a ten-wicket haul by pacer Akash Deep were the highlights of a comprehensive team effort as India ended their winless streak at Birmingham, securing a 336-run win over England during the second Test on the final day on Sunday.
With this win, India has levelled the five-match series by 1-1. Also, now, after seven losses and a draw, they finally have a win to their name at Edgbaston Stadium.
