India's Lord’s Test win on Monday was an emotional roller-coaster where tempers flew thick and fast. It reached boiling point on the fifth and final day when the bantering and sledging grabbed equal attention as much as some heroic performances during India’s stunning 151-run win to take 1-0 lead in the five-Test series against England.
Jasprit Bumrah not only took blows on his body during his career-best unbeaten knock of 34 with Mohammed Shami (56 not out) en route the match-defining 89-run stand in the second innings, but also faced lip service from the Englishmen.
