The indian team lost the first Test by 5 wickets even after coming close to victory. Now the new captain Shubman Gill is ready for the second test. India-England second Test match is to be played from July 2 at Edgbaston ground in Birmingham. It is being speculated that Team india may change its playing eleven for the second Test, but a scary truth has come to the fore before that. Actually, the record of the Indian team at the Edgbaston ground in Test cricket has been very poor.
Team india has not won for 58 years
The indian team has played 8 Test matches at Edgbaston cricket Ground so far, all of which have been against England. It is a very shameful record that Team india has never been able to register a win in these 8 matches, because it lost 7 times at Edgbaston and one match was left on a draw. The indian team played the first Test on this ground in 1967. 58 years have passed since then but Team India's drought of victory at Edgbaston is not coming to an end.
This upcoming match can become very special for rishabh pant as he can become the highest run-scorer Indian batsman at Edgbaston. Pant has scored 203 runs in two innings at this ground, while the highest run-scorer indian batsman at this ground is Virat Kohli, who scored 231 runs here.
Team India's winning streak broken
Before the start of the current series, the indian team had defeated england in the last four Test matches. But after the 5-wicket defeat in the Leeds Test, the indian team's 4-match winning streak has ended. At the same time, this was the third defeat of the indian team in the last 4 matches while playing in England.
