Yastika Bhatia makes history with first Test century at Lord's
Cricketer Yastika Bhatia is being celebrated in India after she became the first woman to score a century at a Test match, at the Lord's stadium in England on Sunday. That gained her a coveted place on the honors board at the Stadium considered the 'Home of Cricket.'
Bhatia scored 113, a massive contribution to the 341-7 India scored in their second Innings of the match on Sunday. That has left England needing a mammoth 427 runs to win the inaugural Women's test at Lord's. England is set to play their innings today.
"I think it's unbelievable," Bhatia told reporters after stumps.
"Six months ago, I was in a very different place. And if you would have told me then I would have my name on the honors board, I wouldn't have believed it."
Bhatia eventually lost out to Sophie Ecclestone, with the England left-arm spinner also securing a place on the honors boards with a five-wicket haul.
"She batted so well, and she really deserved that," Ecclestone said of Bhatia. "It's pretty cool for her to be on the honors board."
