IND vs ENG: How to break the pride of a team can be learned from the Indian cricket team full of young players. Team India, which shattered Australia's pride in Gabba about four and a half years ago, has now defeated England as well. The young and less experienced Team India, captained by Shubman Gill, defeated host England by a huge margin of 336 runs in the second Test match played at Edgbaston. With this, Team India registered its first win on the Edgbaston ground after a long wait of 58 years. Also, Team India's account was opened under Gill's captaincy.

 

First win at Edgbaston

Team India played its first Test match at Edgbaston Ground in Birmingham in 1967, but since then it had never won a match till this match in 2025. Team India had lost 7 out of 8 matches played on this ground, while one Test was drawn in 1986. Despite big stars, legendary players and strong captains, Team India could not break the fort of Edgbaston. But Team India, which entered this match without new captain Shubman Gill and many stars, finally did this feat. This victory refreshed the memories of Team India's victory against Australia in Brisbane in 2021.

England surrenders to the sky

On the last day of the Test match on Sunday, July 6, everyone had only one question in mind - will the rain spoil Team India's victory? It started raining even before the day's play began, due to which the game could not start on time. In such a situation, there was a fear that the victory would slip out of hand. But as soon as the game started at 5:10 pm, it ended with Team India's victory. Star pacer Akash Deep, who started England's downfall in the second innings, wreaked havoc and took the wickets of Ollie Pope and Harry Brook in the first session itself.

 

After this, captain Ben Stokes and Jamie Smith were seen making a good partnership but just before lunch, Washington Sundar sent the English captain back to the pavilion. After this, it was just a matter of waiting for the last wicket to come. In the second session, Team India needed only 4 wickets but during this time Jamie Smith continued to attack from one side. But first Prasidh Krishna took the wicket of Chris Woakes and then Akash took the wicket of Smith. Smith missed his second consecutive century but Akash completed a 5-wicket haul in Test cricket for the first time. Akash also got the last wicket of the innings, who sent Brydon Carse back to the pavilion and bundled out England for just 271 runs.

Akash Deep created history

With this win, the 5-Test match series has become equal at 1-1. England had won the first Test match in Leeds. Team India has also become the first Asian team to win a Test match at Edgbaston. Akash Deep, who took 4 wickets in the first innings, took 6 wickets in the second innings and thus became only the second Indian bowler to take 10 wickets in a match on England's soil. Incidentally, before him, Chetan Sharma had done this feat on the same ground in 1986. Also, this win opened Team India's account in the new cycle of WTC.
