Harmanpreet Kaur becomes first Indian to complete rare Lord's record

In a series of historic events, India women's captain Harmanpreet Kaur achieved an iconic feat at Lord's on Friday, July 10 during the one-off Test match against England. The Indian skipper recorded 58 runs in the first innings to become the first player from India across both men's and women's games, to score half-centuries in Tests, ODIs and T20Is at the legendary venue. The 37-year-old Punjab batter thus added another big feat to her illustrious international career.

Before the historic knock at Lord's, Harman had managed to hit one half-century in T20Is and two fifties in the ODI format.

Here's a look at Harmanpreet Kaur's scores at Lord's:

When it comes to men's cricket, several batters have managed to score half-centuries in Tests and ODIs at Lord's, but Yuvraj Singh remains the only one to reach the milestone in a T20I at the Mecca of cricket. However, Yuvraj never played a single Test match at the Lord's, which restricted him from completing the rare achievement of scoring fifty-plus runs across all three formats at Lord's.

Harmanpreet Kaur also became the first female cricketer to score a fifty in all three international formats at Lord's. The Indian captain's feat becomes even special, as the ongoing one-off Test between India and England marks the first-ever women's Test match to be played at the legendary venue, giving no female cricketer before her the opportunity to achieve the milestone.

In men's cricket, only three batters have completed the rare feat of scoring half-centuries in Tests, ODIs and T20Is at Lord's. Former Sri Lanka captains Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene feature on the elite list along with Pakistan great Younis Khan.
