IND will also lose 2nd Test! Edgbaston team stats are scary:

Delhi: The second match of the five -match Test series between India and England will be played at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham from July 2. This Test match can be very challenging for Team India because Edgbaston’s ground has not been good for India yet. Team India has already lost the first match of the series by 5 wickets, making England a 1-0 lead.

Waiting for victory in Edgbaston

India has not won a single Test match so far in Edgbaston’s 123 year old history. India has played a total of seven Test matches so far on this ground. In six of these, he has lost and a match was drawn.

India’s Test Record in Edgbaston:

• 1967 – Lost by 132 runs to England
• 1974 – Lose by innings and 78 runs
• 1979 – Lose by innings and 83 runs
• 1986 – Match draw
• 1996 – Lose by 8 wickets to England
• 2011 – The biggest defeat by innings and 242 runs
• 2022 – 7 wicket defeat

The 2011 defeat is the most embarrassing defeat on this ground of India. Although in 2016, India came close to victory by performing well, but England won the match by 31 runs.

Now India lost by five wickets in Leeds in the first Test of the 2025 series. In such a situation, the team will try to change history in Edgbaston.

There may be changes in the team

Jasprit Bumrah is not expected to play in the second Test. In such a situation, young bowlers like Arshdeep Singh and Akashdeep Singh will be monitored. At the same time, new faces like Abhimanyu Ishwar and Nitish Kumar Reddy can get a chance in batting.

Team India will need to change the strategy this time. Especially will have to play with both patience and technology against swing bowling. The captain and the coach will have to come down on the field with the right team combination and aggressive thinking.
