The third Test between India and England is all set to take place at Leeds.
As India left for Leeds, the team was seen having a great time inside the bus. In the same sequence of events, former Indian opener, Wasim Jaffer came up with a hilarious meme featuring Prithvi Shaw and Rohit Sharma. The picture shared by Jaffer showed young Shaw sitting on the lap of Sharma in the bus where both of them had an adorable smile on their face.

Talking about the 2nd Test, India completely outclassed the host to win the game, especially on Day 5. The ninth-wicket partnership by Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah became the talking point and in turn, Indian bowlers left no stone unturned in dismissing the opposition. KL Rahul was declared as the player of the match for his classy ton in the first innings of the game.

After the match, KL Rahul said, “They haven’t – it’s still a temporary piece of paper (name on the honours boards). To put on 360 on the board was really crucial, very happy. Been here for a couple of months now and been working really hard on our skills. Even in the first game at Trent Bridge, the batsmen have shown a lot of discipline. That’s what you expect with two competitive teams – great skills, and a few words as well.”
