It is interesting to note that the Indian team has played a total of 9 ODI matches at Lordโs Cricket Ground so far. In the 9 matches, they have only managed to register three victories, five losses, and one tied game.

What did Shubman Gill say ahead of the third ODI?
It is worth noting that after losing seven games in a row in the T20I series against Ireland and England, the Men in Blue registered their first win of the ongoing tour when they took on England in the first ODI of the series in Birmingham. However, the Three Lions came back quickly as they registered a dominant win against India in the second ODI.ย
After the loss in the second ODI, India skipper Shubman Gill had come forward and talked about what went wrong for the Men in Blue, revealing how disappointed he was after posting a low total on the board in the first innings of the game.ย
โQuite disappointing, to be honest with you. We thought 300, 310 would be a good total after 25 overs. We were at a good position. But, we lost too many wickets in the middle overs. [On India’s two batting collapses] I mean, our tailenders are not the best batsmen. But I think we expected a bit more from our lower middle order and we were not able to capitalize on the start that we got,โ Gill had said after the game.
