Cricket World Salutes India Women After Historic Lord’s Test Triumph Over England

India Women’s historic 270-run Test victory over England at Lord’s drew widespread praise from cricket legends, with Ajinkya Rahane, Mithali Raj, Irfan Pathan, VVS Laxman and Michael Vaughan leading the tributes.

Harmanpreet Kaur’s team scripted history by winning the first-ever women’s Test at the iconic venue, powered by Sneh Rana’s 4/42 and Deepti Sharma’s disciplined spell. Yastika Bhatia became the first woman to score a Test century at Lord’s, while Kranti Gaud claimed the venue’s first five-wicket haul in a women’s Test.

Smriti Mandhana’s twin fifties also proved crucial in India’s dominant victory. The win marked India’s seventh triumph in their last 11 Women’s Tests and extended their unbeaten record in red-ball cricket on English soil.
