Tons of patience mixed with the right amount of aggression was the key to the Indian women’s cricket team’s epic Test win over England at Lord’s on Monday, said chief coach Amol Muzumdar as he lauded centurion Yastika Bhatia for her ‘special knock’ and pacer Kranti Gaud for her ‘controlled line and length.’

Gaud’s seven-wicket match haul (5-37, 2-54) and Bhatia’s second-innings 113 played a big role in India’s historic 270-run win over England in the first ever women’s Test played at the iconic venue.
