Quick Take - At Lord's, India's women won more than a trophy
India's women's cricket team won their first Test victory at Lord's, beating England by 270 runs.
Yastika Bhatia became the first woman to score a Test century at Lord's, and Kranti Gaud took the venue's first women's five-wicket haul.
Smriti Mandhana scored 70 in her 300th international game, becoming the third Indian woman after Mithali Raj and Harmanpreet Kaur to reach that milestone.
Sachin Tendulkar called the match 'another beautiful step forward' for women's cricket, highlighting that women's Test cricket was played at Lord's for the first time.
The win was attributed to long-term investments like equal pay, better domestic structures, and the Women's Premier League (WPL), which built the team's confidence.
