Wicketkeeper-batsman Yastika Bhatia also smashed 113 runs off 158 deliveries. Her knock was laced with 14 boundaries. Speaking about her knock, the skipper heaped praise and said that the players came together and did the job for the team.
"That is why we put her in the eleven. Really happy with the way she (Bhatia) batted. Our openers have been our strength - the way they batted in the first half, it was special to watch. Really happy the way our entire team fielded. Everyone came together and did the job for the team," said the 37-year-old cricketer.
The skipper also lauded the team's support staff headed by <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/amol-muzumdar-motivates-india-women-ahead-of-historic-lords-test-following-world-cup-heartbreak-23638957" rel="nofollow">coach Amol Muzumdar</a> for keeping the players in good spirits even when the results were not going in their favour.
"The support staff, they have played a lot of red-ball cricket and they know how it moves, and they are giving us feedback each and every moment. Really want to thank Amol sir and everyone else for the way we played. The last couple of series have not been in our favour," she said.
Team India's Kranti Gaud was named the "Player of the Match" for her stunning performances with the ball. In England's first innings, she registered a five-wicket haul by conceding 37 runs in 17 overs. Later in England's second essay of the game, Gaud bagged two wickets for 54 runs in 11 overs.
