"What happened at Lord’s, with just two overs left and only one bowled, there was so much heat and emotion. But the Indian players did not let that fire die. Everyone was united, fired up, in the face of the batters."He added, "You could feel that heat. It looked like all of them together were ready to tear the opposition apart. The passion they brought, especially at a place like Lord’s, stood out. It didn’t matter what people thought — what mattered was that they were all in."Kartik further praised the Indian bowlers’ ability to extract errors from the English batters in home conditions. "The number of false shots they’ve induced is remarkable. These are England batters who train here and know the conditions. But India’s bowlers played with passion, with concentration, and really forced mistakes. That was impressive."India’s pace trio has led the charge so far: Mohammed Siraj tops the series tally with 13 wickets, followed by Jasprit Bumrah (12) and Akash Deep (11).With the fourth Test beginning July 23 in Manchester, India will hope their fired-up attack can help level the series.
