India won a memorable Test match at the Lord's Cricket Ground on Monday, beating hosts England by 151 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. From what looked like a pretty difficult outcome at the beginning of the final day, the Indian team fought back to bowl out the English side for just 120 runs with the bowlers led by Mohammed Siraj playing a key role in the victory.
'Bach payenge kya' to a win!
From At beginning of the day, “ bacha paayenge kya”,to registering this win at Lords, not many teams can turn around their fortunes in overseas Test Matches like we have done. Kamaal kar diya ladkon ne..
