Despite the gut-wrenching 22-run defeat to England in the third Test at Lord’s, former wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik believes the gritty attitude showcased by Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj serves as a valuable example for the entire cricketing ecosystem in the country.

On the fifth day of the match, Bumrah played 54 balls for five runs while Siraj offered resistance with a 30-ball four while sharing defiant partnerships of 35 and 23 with Ravindra Jadeja, who hit a magnificent 61 – his fourth successive fifty in Tests. But the trio’s efforts went in vain as India ended up on the losing side for the second time in the series and slipped 1-2 behind in the five-match series.
