Overview

  • Since replacing Rohit Sharma as opener, KL Rahul has registered two Test centuries in the series, including his latest at Lord’s.
  • Rahul pushed to reach three figures before the lunch interval, a move critics say led to Rishabh Pant’s run-out on 74 and ended a 141-run stand.
  • Uthappa argued that intense focus on personal milestones—fueled by Indian media expectations—shapes players’ tactical decisions.
  • India’s narrow 22-run defeat at Lord’s left them trailing England 1-2 in the five-match series.
  • India must win the fourth Test at Old Trafford, starting July 23, to stay in contention for the series title.
