On July 13, 2026, the Indian women's cricket team achieved a monumental milestone at the legendary Lord's Cricket Ground in London.
In the first-ever women's Test match hosted at this historic venue, India delivered a dominant performance to secure a 270-run victory over England.
Yastika Bhatia etched her name in history by becoming the first woman to score a Test century at Lord's, while debutant pacer Kranti Gaud claimed a five-wicket haul, earning a place on the prestigious Lord's Honours Board.
Captain Harmanpreet Kaur led her team to this decisive win after setting an imposing target of 457 runs.
The match drew a record crowd of 37,846 spectators, highlighting the growing global interest in the women's game.
This victory not only underscored India's strength in red-ball cricket but also marked a significant turning point in sporting history.
This historic win builds upon the legacy of Indian cricket in England, following the memorable 2022 ODI series sweep that served as a perfect farewell for the legendary Jhulan Goswami.
