In the wake of India's significant victory at Edgbaston, former cricketer and coach Lalchand Rajput has hailed Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep, and Mohammed Siraj as India's 'lethal bowling weapon.' The spotlight now turns to Lord's, where India aims to seize control in the crucial third Test.
India's triumph at Edgbaston marked the end of a long-standing victory drought, spurred by the remarkable efforts of captain Shubman Gill. His tenacious 269-run performance was central to the team's success, followed by a brisk 161 that dismantled England's bowling attack.
Akash Deep stepped up in Bumrah's absence, delivering vital breakthroughs that stymied England's advances. His second innings performance, with figures of 6/99, was pivotal. Rajput asserts that the trio will pose a formidable challenge for England's batsmen, setting the stage for a thrilling Test at Lord's.
