The Indian team were on the verge off pulling off an incredible fightback win in the ENG vs IND 3rd Test at Lord’s despite being reduced to 112/8 at one stage in their chase of 193. The visitors eventually fell just 22 runs short after an unfortunate moment where the ball rolled off and hit the stumps off Mohammed Siraj’s defence to pull curtains on all hopes.

Following a disappointing display from the Indian batters in the second innings barring KL Rahul’s 39, Ravindra Jadeja took over the onus and batted with the tail to inch the Men in Blue closer to the winning line. Jaddu and Bumrah put up a steely 35-run stand for the ninth wicket to reduce the target to 46 runs before the Indian pacer departed on 5 (54).
Mohammed Siraj then joined Jaddu for the last wicket and were down to a little more than 20 runs when the mishap happened. India had the momentum on their side and their plan seemed to be working but the unlucky incident off Shoaib Bashir’s delivery led India to a heartbreaking defeat.
Interestingly, Siraj’s dismissal evoked memories of a similar situation that took place back in 1999 during a Test between India and Pakistan in Chennai.
India needed just 13 runs to win with one wicket in hand after Sachin Tendulkar delivered one of the finest centuries of his career. With bowlers Javagal Srinath and Venkatesh Prasad at the crease, the odds were heavily stacked against India. Srinath tried to defend against the legendary spinner Saqlain Mushtaq but ended up being clean bowled in a manner similar to Siraj where the ball rolled onto the wicket.
Watch the video of both incidents below.

The Indian team squandered a big a chance to take a series lead with the loss at Lord’s and can later prove costly in their ambitions of scripting history to win a Test series on English soil for the first time in 18 years. The last success for India came back in 2007.
After a defeat in the series opener in Leeds, the Shubman Gill-led side put up a dominant display to register a big 336-run win in Edgbaston but following today’s heartbreak, they are now one loss away from the conceding the series.
The decisive fourth Test begins on July 23 at Manchester.
