ENG vs IND One-off Test: Immense pride to have my name on the Lord’s Honours Board, says Kranti Gaud
Indian cricketer Kranti Gaud became the first woman to have her name on the Lord's Honours Board after taking five wickets in a Test match against England. Her performance helped India secure a significant lead in the one-off Test.
Why it matters
This is a historic milestone for women's cricket at one of the sport's most iconic venues.
India pacer Kranti Gaud said becoming the first woman to have her name etched on the Lord's Honours Board after claiming a five-wicket haul in the one-off Test against England was a moment of immense pride for her and her family.
Gaud's superb 5/37 helped India bundle out England for 170, securing a commanding 115-run first-innings lead. India then extended their advantage to 269 by stumps on Day 2, reaching 154/1 in the second innings with Smriti Mandhana unbeaten on 69.
"It's a completely different feeling for me. I am very proud to be the first woman to get my name on the Lord's Honours Board. It's a proud moment for my family," said the 22-year-old Gaud after the day's play.
Gaud had also claimed a five-wicket haul (6/52) in an ODI against England last year.
