Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon graced her presence at the Lord's cricket stadium on the final day of the third Test between India and England. India lost the Test match by 22 runs to go 2-1 down in the series.
India was chasing 193 runs to win the third Test, needing 135 more runs to score in the final day of the Test match. England came out with all guns blazing as they chipped away with the wickets at regular intervals.
The resistance came from Ravindra Jadeja (61* runs off 181 balls) who scored his fourth half-century of the Test series. He first added a 30-run stand with Nitish Kumar Reddy (13 runs off 53 balls). Then, Jasprit Bumrah (5 runs off 54 balls) and Mohammed Siraj (4 runs off 30 balls) helped Jadeja tick the scoreboard ahead for India.

The two bowlers showed great resistance and played more deliveries than the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant. In the end, it was Ben Stokes who dismissed Bumrah just before tea, Siraj then decided to dig deep and backed his defence.
However, he was dismissed in an unfortunate manner as the delivery from England spinner Shoaib Bashir rolled back to his leg stump and he was the last Indian wicket to fall. It was heartbreak for the Indian cricket team and the fans at Lord's who came so near to winning the third Test.
Meanwhile, there are reports of Kriti Sanon dating his boyfriend Kabir Bahia and the rumours were fuelled by their presence at Lord's. Kabir is a London-based businessman and has been seen attending parties of friends and near and dear ones with Kriti.
