Speaking about the India vs England match on his YouTube channel, Danish Kaneria hailed India for their superb bowling show at Lord’s against the home side.

“It looked as if England would bat out the remaining two sessions, but the Indian bowling was absolutely superb. This is India’s third win at Lord’s after 1986 and 2014, and has been an epic victory by 151 runs. They have made England cry,” Danish Kaneria said.

Danish Kaneria also heaped praises on Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah for their spectacular knocks with the bat as tailenders.

“England took a lead of 27 runs and made a strong comeback in the game. But India undid all their hard work, and the credit goes to Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami. Bumrah made a vital 34, and Shami scored a brilliant 56, and their partnership made England feel helpless,” Danish Kaneria further added.
