Indian Test Record At Lord’s

India has played 17 tests at Lord’s and hold a forgettable record as a team at the Mecca of Cricket. Yet, individual records have been impressive. Nissar became the first bowler to grab 5-wicket haul from both sides, while Agarkar achieved the feat of scoring a century at Lord’s which Indian greats like Gavaskar, Tendulkar, Vijay Merchand and Wadekar could not achieve. India lost the 100th test played vs England during 2011 visit by 196 runs but won 2014 test with devastating performance of Ishant. Here is complete Indian record at Lord’s in 17 tests played before 2018 visit.
