As Team India gears up to clash against England for the third Test match at the Lord's Cricket Ground today, July 10, the 'Men in Blue' are definitely eager to perform their best at the iconic cricket venue, and in-form batsman KL Rahul hopes for more.

Team India's opening batsman, KL Rahul, said, "My experience of having played here with a lot of pride and happiness. A happy feeling to come here and enter the dressing room and see the honours board and have your name on it".

"Hopefully, I can put in a great performance once again and make sure I get as many runs as I can and put my team in a winning position," he added.


Along with Rahul, vice-captain Rishabh Pant, and star pacer Mohammed Siraj also shared their views on featuring at Lord's. Taking to X:



The five-match Test series currently stands tied at 1-1. The Lord's encounter will be the most anticipated match, considering the historic venue, fierce battle among the players, and both teams' hunt to secure a lead.

Indian skipper Shubman Gill sits at the top of the run charts in the series with 585 runs in two Tests, four innings at an average of 146.25 and an attacking strike rate of over 73, with three centuries and a marathon 269 (387 balls) at Edgbaston as his best score.

England pacer Josh Tongue has claimed the most wickets in two concluded Test matches. With 11 wickets at an average of 33.63, Tongue has been benched for the third Test, and Jofra Archer has made the cut in the playing XI.

Stalwart Joe Root needs 45 runs to become the first batter to score 3000 against India in Test cricket. Gill needs just 18 more runs to pass Rahul Dravid's haul of 602 in 2002, to smash the most by an Indian batter in England. Along with Root and Gill, KL Rahul is the third top player to watch out for from the much-anticipated Lord's clash.

At Lord's, India and England have faced off 19 times. England won 12 of those encounters, while India managed just three victories.
