Top order: Murali Vijay, Shikhar Dhawan, Cheteshwar Pujara

Murali Vijay and Shikhar Dhawan opened the innings in the 2014 Lord's Test. While Dhawan registered scores of 7 & 31, Vijay contributed a vital 95 in the second innings.

Batting at his customary No. 3 position, Cheteshwar Pujara registered scores of 28 & 43 in the 2014 Lord's Test. Following a poor run, he was dropped from the team after the 2023 World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia. While Pujara hasn't announced his retirement, an India comeback seems unlikely. He is one of the experts for the ongoing Test series in England.

Virat Kohli registered disappointing scores of 25 & 0 in the 2014 Test at Lord's. He had a horror tour of England, but recovered from it to become a fine Test player. Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket in May this year, just ahead of India's tour of England. He had retired from T20Is after the 2024 T20 World Cup and will now be seen in India colors in only the ODI format.

Ajinkya Rahane scored a brilliant 103 on the opening day of the 2014 Lord's Test. His 154-ball knock featured 15 fours and a six. Having been dropped from the Test team owing to poor form, he was recalled for the 2023 WTC final. He contributed 89 & 46, but lost his place again after the 2023 tour of West Indies. Rahane is currently sharing his views as an expert on social media.

MS Dhoni was the captain and wicketkeeper of the Indian team in the 2014 Lord's Test. He failed with the bat, registering scores of 1 & 19. Having retired from international cricket in August 2020, he continues to represent Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL. He took over as captain from Ruturaj Gaikwad during the 2025 season after the former got injured.

All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja contributed a signficant 68 in the second innings of the 2014 Lord's Test against England. He is the senior-most member of the Indian team which is currently in England. Jadeja contributed crucial half-centuries in India's historic triumph at Edgbaston in the second Test.

Stuart Binny had a forgettable outing at Lord's in 2014. He registered scores of 9 & 0 and did not pick up a wicket with his medium pace. Binny announced his retirement from all forms of cricket in August 2021.
