Indian Bowlers on Lord's Honor Board

12# Praveen Kumar

Praveen Kumar

Praveen Kumar is famous for his uncanny skills to swing the ball both ways. The stalwart from Uttar Pradesh was ruled out of the World Cup 2011 squad. But he looked determined in his return at Lord's Test.

India started miserably and Zaheer Khan got injured midway in the first innings. The onus now shifted on remaining bowlers. Praveen Kumar, after going wicketless on the first day, came determined on the second day and made his presence felt. He first dismissed the overnight batsman Jonathan Trott and later dismissed Ian Bell, Eoin Morgan, Matt Prior and Stuart Broad to end his match figures at 40.3-4-106-5. India failed to save the Test match and England won by 196 runs.
