India has been all out within 200 14 times in 19 Tests played at Lord's, did not even touch the figure of 100 so many times

The third Test between England and India at Lord's Cricket Ground in London has taken an exciting turn. The Indian bowlers performed brilliantly and dismissed England for just 192 runs in the second innings. Both teams had scored equally in the first innings. Therefore, Team India faced a modest target of 193 runs in this match.

However, with the challenging pitch at Lord's and the tight line length of the English bowlers, this target also started to seem daunting. By the end of the third day's play, India had lost four wickets for only 58 runs. At that point, KL Rahul was at the crease, scoring 33 runs off 47 balls with six fours. The question in the minds of fans is whether Team India can achieve this target. Looking at India’s historical stats at Lord's makes this even more intimidating.

The Indian team has often collapsed on this ground and been reduced to very low scores. India first played here in 1932. Since then, they have played 19 Test matches at Lord's. Out of these, 14 times India has been all out for 200 or fewer runs, and three times their total did not even cross 100. 

The last time India was restricted to under 200 runs in both innings at Lord's was in 2018, when they scored only 107 in the first innings and 130 in the second. Overall, out of 19 Test matches played here, India has won only 3, lost 12, and drawn 4.

India's first victory at Lord's came in 1986 when Kapil Dev's team defeated England by 5 wickets. Later, in 2014, thanks to Ajinkya Rahane's brilliant century, India—led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni—defeated England by 95 runs. The third win came in 2021, when India beat England by 151 runs under Virat Kohli’s captaincy.
