134 vs. England, 1986

India's highest chase at the iconic venue is 134. The win came way back in 1986, when the Kapil Dev-led team beat England in the test series opener, after the ODI series ended in a tie, 1-1. While chasing 134, India lost 5 early wickets, but the skipper and Ravi Shastri remained calm at the crease and guided India to victory. The captain scored 23 off 10, while Shastri played a composed knock of 20 and guided India home. Dilip Vengsarkar, who has 3 centuries at Lord's, also played a crucial knock of 33.

India's bowling heroics

Chetan Sharma, the right-arm medium pacer for India, took a sensational fifer in the first innings. His bowling was well complemented by the skipper, Kapil Dev, who took a four-fer in the second innings. Both played a crucial role in India's success at the iconic venue. The visitors went on to win the series 2-0. It was after 15 years that India defeated England in their home. The next series win came in 2007.

Shubman's chance of rewriting history

India's previous three matches at Lord's have produced 2 wins. Shubman Gill, who is the newly appointed Test captain for India, has a great chance of ticking off a victory at Lord's and taking the crucial 2-1 lead in the series. The situation is tricky at the moment, with India at 58-4. They need 135 to win.
