A Memorable Moment at the Home of Cricket
On June 25, a remarkable moment unfolded at the Home of Cricket as Vikrant Keni executed a spectacular catch to dismiss Angus Brown, sealing India's thrilling two-wicket win over England in the third T20I of the Mixed Disability IT20 series held at Lord's.
Brown, who was the standout performer for England, scored an impressive 77 runs off just 47 deliveries, including five fours and five sixes. However, just when England seemed poised for a strong finish, Keni's athletic leap at the boundary ended Brown's innings on the second-to-last ball of the 20th over. This catch not only halted England's momentum but also provided India with a crucial lift at a pivotal moment in the match.

India's Historic Win at Lord's
The third T20I transcended the sport itself, celebrating spirit, inclusion, and history. This match marked the first international disability cricket event at Lord's, coinciding with World Mixed Disability Day and the 42nd anniversary of India's iconic 1983 World Cup victory at the same venue.
England batted first and, despite an early setback, managed to post a total of 123 runs for 9 wickets in 20 overs, largely thanks to Brown's outstanding performance. Indian bowlers shone brightly, with Vivek Kumar taking 3 wickets for 16 runs and captain Ravindra Sante claiming 3 for 8.
India successfully chased down the target in 19.1 overs, led by Sai Akash's steady innings of 44, despite losing wickets in the later stages.
