India faces a daunting challenge at Edgbaston, a venue where they've never won a Test match. After a painful defeat at Headingley, where England chased down a substantial target, India is under pressure to avoid a series loss. Breaking the Edgbaston jinx, dating back to 1967, requires an extraordinary effort against a confident England team.

Shubman Gill, despite his stellar batting performance in the series with nearly 600 runs, has expressed concerns about the deteriorating quality of the Dukes ball and the unresponsive nature of English pitches. He highlighted the challenges bowlers face due to the ball losing shape quickly, impacting strategic depth and competitiveness in Test cricket.

Under gloomy skies, India's youthful team triumphed over England by 336 runs in the second Test at Edgbaston, securing their first-ever win at the venue. Led by Shubman Gill, with stellar performances from Gill himself and Akash Deep, India proved their mettle despite missing key players like Bumrah and Kohli.

During the Edgbaston Test, England's Harry Brook attempted to unsettle Rishabh Pant with playful sledging, questioning his fastest century. Pant, unfazed, responded calmly, focusing on his game. He then scored a crucial 65 off 58 balls, contributing to a significant partnership with Shubman Gill, who made 161.
