Great victory for India at Edgbaston. Fearless and kept pushing England to the wall. Brilliantly led by Shubhman with the bat and in the field and impactful performances from everyone. Special mention to Siraj and Akash for the way they bowled on this pitch. 👏🇮🇳 @ShubmanGill…

Why Is Edgbaston a “Bogey Ground” for India?
- Historic pitch & crowd advantage – home soil is tough
- Strong England performances – Alastair Cook’s 294 in 2011; England chases 378 and 371 in 2022 & 2025
- India’s batting struggles – low scores and limited big partnerships at this venue
Upcoming 2025 Test (Jul 2–6)
- The 9th Test at Edgbaston kicks off July 2–6, 2025
- India aiming to break their 0‑win streak, after losing 1st Test at Headingley 1‑0 this series
