Earlier, Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Monday congratulated the Indian women’s cricket team after they scripted history by becoming the first-ever women’s side to win a Test match at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground.

Taking to X, Mandaviya praised the team’s commanding 270-run victory over England, describing it as a landmark achievement for Indian cricket.

He also lauded the team’s performance, saying the historic victory reflected the growing stature of women’s cricket in India and would inspire aspiring cricketers across the country.

“History at Lord’s! Congratulations to our Women’s Cricket Team on becoming the first-ever women’s team to win a Test match at the iconic venue. A commanding 270-run victory over England makes this achievement even more special,” the Sports Minister wrote.

Yastika Bhatia starred with a landmark century, the first by a woman at Lord’s, while Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur, Richa Ghosh and Deepti Sharma made vital contributions with the bat.

Debutant Kranti Gaud claimed a five-wicket haul in the first innings, and Deepti picked up four wickets in the second as England, chasing 457, were bowled out for 186, bringing a disappointing end to the international careers of Heather Knight and Tammy Beaumont. (ANI)
