London: The Indian women added a historic chapter to the storied legacy of the iconic Lord’s, considered to be the ‘Home of Cricket’.
Harmanpreet Kaur’s girls were far too superior as they hammered hosts England by 270 runs on Monday.
What made the occasion even more special for the team was the presence of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar at the stadium. The record run-scorer in men’s Test cricket met the team and gave them a pep talk before play started on the final day, and then stepped out to the hallowed turf to congratulate the girls at the end of the match.
