India’s mixed disability cricket team defeats England by 118 runs in the seventh and final T20I at Lord’s and marks the consolation win with a recreation of Sourav Ganguly’s iconic shirt-waving celebration from the Lord’s balcony.
India posts 206/4, with Arjun Gawre scoring 68 off 44 and captain Majid Magray making 63 not out off 19. England is then restricted to 88 all out, with Hilal Ahmad Wani taking 4/21 and Jayesh Parmar 3/14. England still wins the overall seven-match series 4-3, despite the loss in the final game.
Both outlets describe the post-match celebration tied to Lord’s, where players and officials remove their coats/blazers and imitate Ganguly’s moment. NDTV frames the Ganguly reference as “returns” decades later, while the Free Press Journal adds details that the inspiration comes from India’s 2002 NatWest Trophy final triumph over England, celebrated at the same venue.
