NEW DELHI: Two standout performances from India’s narrow 22-run defeat against England in the third Test at Lord’s have earned a permanent place in cricketing history - with Jasprit Bumrah and KL Rahul ’s names now inscribed on the iconic Lord’s Honours Board.The Board, which records all five-wicket hauls and centuries at the 'Home of Cricket', saw fresh additions in the form of Bumrah’s 5/74 in England’s first innings and Rahul’s gritty 100 off 177 balls in India's reply - both efforts pivotal in keeping the contest alive till the final day.Despite India's eventual loss, their standout performers found reason to celebrate.Lord’s Cricket Ground's official handle shared a video montage on Friday, revealing the updated board. Titled “Two new additions to the Away Dressing Room Honours Board,” the clip featured visuals of Bumrah and Rahul during their milestones followed by a reveal of their names immortalised in Lord's folklore.India had earlier dismissed England for 387, courtesy of Bumrah’s brilliance with the ball, and Rahul’s dogged ton ensured the visitors matched that total. However, a second-innings collapse during a chase of 193 saw India fall short despite Ravindra Jadeja ’s valiant unbeaten 61.The series now stands at 2-1 in England’s favour after India’s 336-run win in the second Test at Birmingham and the opening loss in Leeds. The fourth Test in Manchester, starting July 23, gives India a chance to bounce back.For now, though, Bumrah and Rahul’s achievements at Lord’s - etched in gold - offer a proud moment in an otherwise gut-wrenching result.
