Fire & Ice Fell Apart at Lord’s

India’s chase at Lord’s crumbled under pressure as Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul — the Fire & Ice duo — fell apart on Day 5 of the 3rd Test against England. With just 193 to chase, India folded for 170, losing by 22 runs. While Jadeja stood tall with an unbeaten 61, the rest succumbed to England’s sledging and intensity. Skipper Gill admitted Pant’s run-out and lack of partnerships cost the match. Debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy impressed, but Karun Nair’s struggles continued. A cautionary tale in the heart of Test cricket.
