What should be an ideal goal for Team India at Lord’s?

For the first time in the ongoing IND vs ENG series, the domestic side opted to bat first after winning the toss. This means, India must chase the Lord’s pitch, which can play one or two tricks. Currently, 4 days on lunch, hosts take a lead of 98, and four wickets are bottom. So, the question is bound to arise, such as what will be an ideal goal for Team India?

Historically in the Lord

Truth is to be told, India will tell its opportunities with anything under 300. But then, they also need to feel that there is a root, ben stokes and Jamie Smith standing among that dream. Saying that, the Insidesport also takes a look at the last 5 scores managed by the teams at Lord’s, in the fourth place.

In the final of the World Test Championship, South Africa chased 282 for the loss of five wickets. Then, in 2024, the Sri Lankan team managed 292 in the previous innings, while tried to chase 483, and lost by 190 runs. In the earlier match, England faced the West Indies in July 2024, and the match did not reach the fourth innings. Wi lost by an innings and 114 runs.

Shubman will be pleased with Gill.

If we go back further, in Ashes 2023, Australia won the match by 43 runs, as England were set a target of 371 runs. He was excluded for 327, despite Ben Stokes scoring 155. And finally, in an encounter between England and Ireland in June 2023, the hosts were set a target of 11, and won by 10 wickets.

Therefore, going from that record, the figure of the age of 300 is that Shubman Gill & Company will have to look at. Anything beyond 350 will be difficult, and perhaps it is impossible to get. There will also be a target of 300, which will be interested in chasing Indians, and therefore can go for a run on the last day. Again, it has been provided that ENG reaches it.

One of the following factors will be Rishabh Pant’s fitness. He is nursing on a finger injury, and was not the most comfortable in his innings of 74. Therefore, the bowlers have a clear job in their hands.
