Indian pacer Gurnoor Brar faced the challenge at Lord’s on Sunday, registering the most expensive wicket by a bowler in ODI history in the third Test match against England. The right-arm pacer finished with figures of 0 for 97 from 10 overs as England piled up 387 for 3, eclipsing the unremarkable Lord’s record held by former Indian Karsan Ghavri, who conceded 81 runs in 11 overs against England in 1975. Brar’s writings also entered the Indian history books. His innings of 0/97 is now the third highest by an Indian bowler in ODI cricket, behind only him.

Ben Duckett led England with 141, while Jacob Bethell contributed 91 as the pair put on a 192-run opening partnership that laid the platform for the series. Brar found little relief throughout as England’s players continued to attack in the final game. Joe Root went on to score an unbeaten 74 from 49 balls earlier Jos Buttler hit 41 not out for just 13, taking the hosts to 387 for 3, the highest ODI total recorded at Lord’s. India’s pace attack struggled together. Prasidh Krishna returned figures of 2 for 69, Arshdeep Singh remained unbeaten as he conceded 72 runs, and Prince Yadav took one wicket but produced 79 runs. Together, the four fast bowlers, with a combined total of just 51 ODIs, could not stop England’s formidable batting. England’s 387 for 3 surpassed their highest ODI total at Lord’s of 334 for 4 against India in 1975, setting a new mark at the iconic venue. For Brar, the tour was a learning curve, and his stats became an unimportant part of Lord’s and Indian ODI history.
