2nd Test: Deepti Sharma rings bell at Lord’s before the start Day 4

The representative of the Indian women’s cricket team, Deepti Sharma, rang the bell of the Cricket House to launch the ball before the start of the game on the 4th day of the ongoing Lord’s Test between India and England.

BCCI confirmed it on their official Twitter handle, as they wrote: “#TeamIndia all-rounder @Deepti_Sharma06 rung the bell at Lord’s before the start of play on Day #ENGvIND.”

The ringing of the bell during a Test match at Lord’s Cricket Ground by an international cricketer, an administrator is a tradition that started in 2007 and has been followed since then.

Former Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Farokh Engineer had rung a five-minute bell before the start of the third day of the ongoing Test match.
