By Day 5 things got worse with sledging. Harry Brook, who used to be a teammate of Nitish at Sunrisers Hyderabad, mercilessly mocked him on the pitch with:

“Who do you think you are? In the IPL, you didn’t say anything!”
“This is not IPL, Jaddu needs to score all the runs!”

To add flames to the fire, Ben Stokes joined the sledging event by sending what amounted to a mouthful to Reddy after bowling to him. Even before the barrage Nitish was resilient as he counterattacked and even scored a glorious cover drive off Stokes.

Sadly Reddy played on just before lunch, against Chris Woakes, and his defiance came to an end after scoring 13 runs. It was a moment of big disaster to India as they dissolved into 112/8 at a target of 193.

🇮🇳 India’s Collapse at Lord’s

Starting the final day at 58/4, India’s chase went downhill quickly:

Rishabh Pant (9) fell early
KL Rahul scored a fighting 39
Washington Sundar got out for a duck

England’s aggressive bowling, coupled with their tactical sledging, proved too much for the Indian batting order on a surface that was turning unpredictable with every ball.

Fans couldn’t stop talking about the power-packed moment of Akshay Kumar, Twinkle Khanna, and Ravi Shastri together. One tweet summed it up perfectly:

“From the silver screen to the green pitch — Akshay Kumar knows where to be when India needs a cheerleader!”
