Kranti Gaud's Six-Wicket Blast Puts India Women in Full Control at Lord's
Times of India·Sunday, 12 July 2026
India bowled England out for 170, with Kranti Gaud taking six wickets in a career-defining spell. Smriti Mandhana then anchored India's second innings with an unbeaten 69, and an 88-run opening stand with Shafali Verma gave India a commanding 269-run advantage. India are firmly in the driver's seat on Day 2 of the Lord's Test.
Why It Matters
A dominant Indian women's performance at Lord's — one of cricket's most iconic grounds — is a proud moment and a sign of how far this team has come.
