'You are looking at the wrong side...': Not Mohammed Siraj's unlucky dismissal, Dinesh Karthik's big statement on how India lost grip in Lord's Test

Former India wicketkeeper batter Dinesh Karthik analysed the crucial moments behind the outcome of the third Test match against England at Lord's in London, where Ben Stokes's side defeated the visitors by 22 runs. Despite Ravindra Jadeja's resistance with tail-enders Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, India fell short in their chase of 193 runs.

India's batting collapse in the first innings cost that match to India as they went from 376/6 to 387 all out, matching England's total. KL Rahul's dropped catch of Jamie Smith, who went on to score 51 runs, also impacted the game significantly.

"If you are going to judge the match based on what happened today (on Day 5 of Lord's Test), I think you are looking at the wrong side. You have got to look at 376-6 in the first innings to 387 all out. Again a bit of a mini-collapse. The catch that KL Rahul dropped, Jamie Smith on five," Karthik said on Sky Sports.

"How much do those things matter to you? Those are the conversations you need to have. There were moments India could have gone ahead and couldn't for the third time this series," Karthik added.
