Social media celebrate the anniversary of India’s 2014 Lord’s Test win
On July 21 2014, India won a Test match at Lord's after 28 years. A first-innings hundred by Ajinka Rahane on a green deck, followed by Ishant Sharma's seven-wicket haul, which included a barrage of bouncers, sealed the match for India.
Rahane's 103, Bhuvi's 6/82, Vijay's 95, and Ishant's 7/74! 🤩#OnThisDay in 2014, 𝑡𝑒𝑎𝑚 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘 𝑚𝑎𝑑𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑚 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘 at Lord's! 🇮🇳 pic.twitter.com/bSJC0E0Jok

I sometime wonder why Ajinkya Rahane is undervalued in Tests, On this day, he played a gritty innings at Lord's that helped India secure a win after 28 years. It is actually his most underrated inning, possibly overshadowed by Ishant's heroics.
