"It will be my last Test at Lord's"- When MS Dhoni made a stunning remark after India's win over England in 2014

Team India are now preparing for their next assignment at the Lord's cricket ground to take on England in the third of the ongoing 5-match series. After two matches, the series currently leveled at 1-1, each team got one victory— England won the first Test in Leeds, and India's victory in the second Test at Edgbaston.

The third encounter will take place at the home of cricket from July 10. Before the important match, stories related to India and Lord's are circulating around the social media platforms. The discussion about Lord's and Team India will remain incomplete without Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The former India skipper made a huge announcement after a glorious win over England at Lord's in 2014. MS Dhoni, the then captain of India, said that it would be his final Test match at the venue.

"Don't know how exactly it feels. It will be my last Test at Lord's. Don't see myself coming back here in I don't know how many years. Definitely a memorable Test match. Have had close Tests here. Still remember 2007 series where we drew the match because of bad light, and me and Sreesanth were batting at that time", Dhoni said after the match. True to his words, 'captain cool' never played in Lord's after the announcement.
