England came victorious by 22 runs in the third Test match against Team India at the Lord`s Cricket Ground. After victory at the iconic venue, the hosts` skipper Ben Stokes revealed that fierce pacer Jofra Archer watched the highlights of former Team India captain Sourav Ganguly`s famous jersey-waving moment at the venue, which in return helped him to deliver a match-winning spell.

"I just said to him this morning, I said, `You know what today is, don`t you? And it was that highlight package from when India knocked off 300-odd back in the day, when Ganguly, he thought that was a World Cup final as well. He thought that was six years today. Genuine. And I was like, no, that World Cup that we won, he was like, oh, that one. Gosh, he`s an absolute beauty, that boy," Stokes told reporters during the press conference.

Sourav Ganguly, 23 years ago, waved his shirt on the Lord`s balcony, which goes down as an iconic scene from India`s memorable NatWest final win in 2002 over England.
