India legend Sachin Tendulkar congratulated the Indian women’s team after their historic victory over England in the one-off Test at Lord’s.
Tendulkar was among the many who witnessed history being made at the Home of Cricket. It was the first-ever women’s Test at Lord’s, and India emerged victorious. Having played at the iconic venue himself, Tendulkar understands what it means to perform there. The former India opener described the dream triumph as another beautiful step forward for Indian women’s cricket.
“Every cricketer carries the dream of playing at Lord’s. Over the past four days, a new generation lived that dream as women’s Test cricket arrived at the Home of Cricket for the very first time. Congratulations to the Indian team on a wonderful victory. Smriti’s composure, Yastika’s brilliant century and Kranti’s five-wicket haul made this occasion even more special. The journey of women’s cricket has been remarkable, and this was another beautiful step forward,” Tendulkar posted on X.
What made India’s victory even more memorable was the fact that the first women’s names to be entered on the Lord’s honours boards were Kranti Gaud and Yastika Bhatia. Smriti Mandhana came close to joining them but narrowly missed out. India arrived at Lord’s with a bag full of dreams and left with a treasure trove of memories.
