The second Test match at Edgbaston, Birmingham, concluded on July 6 with a dominant win for Team India. Overcoming frequent rain interruptions, India secured a massive 336-run victory, bundling out England on the final day after taking seven crucial wickets.

Under the leadership of Shubman Gill, India bounced back in style to level the five-match series 1-1. This emphatic win not only marked India’s first-ever Test victory at Edgbaston but also saw several records tumble — making it one of the most talked-about Test matches in recent history.

After losing the toss and being asked to bat first, India piled up a mammoth 587 runs in their first innings, with captain Shubman Gill leading from the front with a sensational 269-run knock. In reply, England managed 407 runs, with Mohammed Siraj claiming a brilliant five-wicket haul, giving India a 180-run lead.

India then declared their second innings at 427, setting England a near-impossible target of 608 runs. The hosts crumbled under pressure and were bowled out for 271, handing India a famous win.

Records That Made History

This was India’s first-ever Test win at Edgbaston.

Shubman Gill became the youngest Indian captain to win a Test outside Asia.

Gill also became the first player in Test history to score both 250+ and 150+ in the same match.

The 336-run victory is now India’s biggest Test win outside Asia.

For the first time, India crossed the 1000-run mark in a Test match (across both innings).

With this remarkable win, Team India not only leveled the series but also sent a strong message ahead of the remaining matches. The victory has ignited fresh excitement among fans, with praise pouring in for Gill, Siraj, and the team’s all-round performance.
