Shubman Gill's India Test jersey, worn during the Lord's Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy and signed, was auctioned for £4,600 (around Rs 5.41 lakhs) in the Budds auction under the lot dedicated to the Red For Ruth charity. It derived the highest price from the dozens of match memorabilia, including the signed shirts and caps from players on both sides, portraits, bats, hospitality tickets, among other items. Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja's were the joint-second highest at £4,200 (around Rs 4.94 lakhs), followed by KL Rahul at £4,000 (around Rs 4.70 lakhs). For England, Joe Root's signed jersey fetched the highest bid at £3,800 (around Rs 4.47 lakhs), followed by Ben Stokes' £3,400 (around Rs 4 lakhs).

Gill, renowned for his graceful stroke play and calm temperament, is one of the brightest talents in world cricket. Shirt is unwashed and match worn—a rare collector's item from a memorable day at the Home of Cricket." The overall highest bid was earned by a print of artist Sacha Jafri's canvas painting of the 2019 World Cup Winning Moment – £5,000 (Rs 5.88 lakhs). What is Red For Ruth? Every year, one day of a Lord's Test is dedicated to former England captain Andrew Strauss' foundation, Red For Ruth, as cricketers, broadcasters, and the public wear red.

Before the match between India and England, the foundation had said that through the generosity and support of fans over the past six years, it had assisted over 3,500 family members navigating grief and trained more than 1,000 cancer care professionals in handling bereavement. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Mithali Raj On Ringing The Lord's Bell: 'Special Occasion For Me Because....'
Last Updated: Mithali Raj reminisced about her bittersweet memories at Lord's after ringing the bell for Day 4, recalling the 2017 World Cup final loss and her first visit in 1999. Former India captain Mithali Raj got nostalgic about her bittersweet memories at the Lord's Cricket Ground in England, after she rang the iconic bell to kick off play for Day 4 of the India men's Test against England in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Mithali said her team's 2017 ODI World Cup final defeat to England here was still fresh in her memory, but so was her first visit to the ground in 1999 where she dreamed of playing here. Sachin Tendulkar opened the play by ringing the bell on the opening day, former England captain Andrew Strauss's children — on the occasion of the annual Red For Ruth day by his foundation — did it on Day 2, and Cheteshwar Pujara followed on Day 3. The bell is located outside the Bowlers' Bar of the Lord's Pavilion and the tradition to ring it before each day's play began in 2007. 'I think it's a special occasion for me because this ground has a lot of history, and I do remember my first tour in 1999, my debut tour to England, and I came to Lord's as a tourist," Mithali was quoted as saying by news agency PTI. 'I took some pictures here, wondering will I would ever get an opportunity to play at Lord's, and I did. I probably would have played about 3 or 4 games at Lord's, and one of those remains still in my memory, the 2017 ODI World Cup Final." The legendary cricketer was also asked about India's chances for the ODI World Cup. She advised them to take it one game at a time and not to underestimate any opponent. 'I think for India to win the World Cup they have to take one game at a time, of course, Australia is a team that every team would like to beat, but South Africa has done well in the one-day series; they might not have won against India. England of course, is in a transition so how they approach the World Cup we don't know, Indian team should focus on one game at a time. Their first aim has to be to qualify for the knockouts, and from there on it is anybody's game, but to be there, you cannot take any team lightly because every team comes prepared to win the World Cup." view comments First Published: July 13, 2025, 20:46 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Jasprit Bumrah marvels for India with next level showing to dismantle top order
Jasprit times call for Jasprit measures. Lord's on a brutally hot July morning can feel like an assault on the senses, with its crush of pastel-shirted flesh, the walkways seething with food wafts, hamper-flash, ice bucket envy. The home of cricket had at least immersed itself fully in the Red for Ruth charity on day two of this third Test, laying on an endless rolling field of red trouser cloth, every shade from faded salmon to screw-you scarlet on show. Admittedly it was like this on day one too. But you can never have enough charity. Above all Lord's has a kind of social fever on days like these, the shared urge to get beyond the next velvet rope, to find the furthest secret garden, like supplicants at some blue-moccasined royal court. In the middle of this there was something beautifully stark about the sight of Jasprit Bumrah out in the middle of that sun-baked green oval, a cricketer operating from inside his own cold clean square of light. With a Test to be seized and a legacy to be glossed, Bumrah duly produced, taking three for one in six balls in his opening spell, completing the scheduled five-for, and in the process his own ascent to the panelled wall coverings of St John's Wood. Mainly, Bumrah at Lord's was just utterly thrilling to watch. As ever he came stuttering in like a man on an imaginary pantomime horse clopping his own coconut halves, bowling leg-cutters, inswing and throat searing bouncers with no shift of action or grip. In the process India's premier seamer justified even further the decision to rest him for the win in Leeds. And also confirmed what seems now to be unavoidably true: that he is, on numbers, skill and pure spectacle, perhaps the greatest fast bowler of all time; and certainly the best yet across the three modern formats. Bumrah didn't really produce anything out of the ordinary here. There is no need when your ordinary is sui generis brilliance on all surfaces, all formats, all conditions, the portable Bumrah-shaped universe. A final haul of five for 74 in 27 overs offered the guilty pleasure, mid-Test, of poring over that career record once again. Bumrah now has 215 wickets at an average below 19.5, the lowest of anyone ever to take 200 or more, at least at this stage in his career. Basically right now it's just Bumrah and SF Barnes out there running ahead of the tideline, with only Malcolm Marshall, Joel Garner and Curtly Ambrose anywhere near. There are odd elements to these numbers. Bumrah has only played 12 home Tests (his record would be better with more: he averages 17 in India) compared to 34 away away from home. He's also getting better. In the last two years he has 87 Test wickets at 15. In November in Perth he basically pulled Marnus Labuschagne apart like a curious child taking the tweezers to a desiccated woodlouse, en route to five for 10 in nine overs, surely the most relentlessly magical fast bowling spell of the modern age. We can say it now. This is unique, next level stuff, all the more striking because Bumrah is, that rarest of all things, a mystery fast bowler, out there operating in a field of one. At Lord's it was a day to marvel at how he does it. Sign up to The Spin Subscribe to our cricket newsletter for our writers' thoughts on the biggest stories and a review of the week's action after newsletter promotion Essentially Bumrah is all about that malevolently skilled right arm. The run-up is still a vital source of rhythm and timing, for all its stutters and starts, the ball carefully cradled, like a man running for the last bus at 3am with a kebab doggedly lodged under his elbow. But the run-up exists to wheel that hyperextending right arm into place, wrist perfectly coiled, head still. There's a glide and a gather and a self-catapult through the crease, ending in the follow-through with Bumrah's right hand slapping his own buttocks between his legs. It is of course no surprise that growing up in Ahmedabad he was at first unable to break into the age group teams due to the self-made oddity of this action. Equally unsurprising, it didn't last long. Above all Bumrah is just a super smart cricketer, a sponge for information, a student of lines and angles, always in control, jarringly happy in his work, and more muscled now in his pomp, with the look of the handsome contented man in a barber shop window advert. Three of his five wickets in England's first innings here were top order batters clean bowled – Joe Root, Harry Brook and Ben Stokes, numbers one and two in the world plus the skipper. These were genuinely clean bowled too, defensive shots beaten, techniques pulled apart. Stokes was first to go in Bumrah's second over, off-stump clanked back by a ball angled in on a perfect not-quite length. Next Root was bowled middle stump via the same process: angled in, holds its line, too flat, quick, perfectly pitched. Chris Woakes nicked behind. Finally Jofra Archer was also bowled, and also seemed to lose the length, completely outmanoeuvred by that snaking, fizzing trajectory. In between Bumrah was slapped around a little by Brydon Carse, who batted with heart and skill to take England to a promising 387. But this was Bumrah's morning, Bumrah's asterisk, his one-man Lord's Friday matinee.
