Rahul on Lords win: we don’t mind the banter

Player of the Match KL Rahul says the players enjoyed the intense rivalry between the teams as India completed a 151-run victory over England at Lord's in the 2nd Test.

Entering the fifth day of the Lord's Test as favourites to win the match, England were blind-sided by Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami's counterattack amidst sledging from the Englishmen.

Earlier, KL Rahul scored a century, aided by Rohit Sharma's 83 and Virat Kohli's 42 in the first innings.

Virat Kohli and his boys celebrated every English wicket in the second innings as if they won the Test while the likes of Siraj and Rishabh Pant made sure to get under the skin of the opposition after almost every delivery.
