Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly React to India’s Heartbreaking Loss at Lord’s
Indian cricket greats Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar were stunned by the team's defeat in the Lord's Test.

One of India's greatest captains ever, Ganguly, lavished Jadeja with praise after watching an exciting cricket match at Lord's.
How about a test match? India will disappoint Lord's greatly because they performed admirably in all three Test matches. He wrote, "But losing 2-1..it was a test match to be won. Jadeja put up a good fight and proved that 193 was not a big total..@bcci @Teamindiacrick."

Sachin praised the heroic efforts of Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravindra Jadeja despite India's failure to achieve the desired outcome.
"Very close, yet so far away.... Siraj, Jadeja, and Bumrah fought until the very end. Team India, good job. In order to maintain pressure and achieve the desired outcome, England played well. "Congratulations on a well-earned victory," he wrote.
So near, yet so far….

Jadeja, Bumrah, & Siraj fought all the way till the end. Well tried, Team India.
England played well to keep the pressure on and produced the result they desired. Congratulations on a hard fought win.
India's chances of winning were increased when they bowled out England at 192, but batting in the fourth innings proved to be challenging. Jadeja faced Bumrah for 22 overs and Siraj for the next 13 overs, but he was unable to win because of the opposition's lack of support.
