India scripted a memorable win at Lord's in the second Test of the ongoing five-match series against England last week. Reminiscing the victory, fielding coach R Sridhar sat down for a chat with ace off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin on the latter's YouTube channel. In the video, speaking about the partnership between Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, Sridhar shared an anecdote from Day 5 of the Lord's Test. Sridhar told Ashwin that when Shami and Bumrah were making their way to the dressing room at Lunch break, Kohli asked the whole team to cheer and welcome the duo by creating noise that "reverberates in Lord's for years to come".
