🏆 India vs England 2nd Test – Match Overview:
The India vs England 2nd Test concluded with a dominant display by Team India, crushing England by a massive 336 runs at Edgbaston on Day 5. Led by Akash Deep’s stunning 10-wicket haul and Shubman Gill’s fearless captaincy, India bounced back in style to level the 5-match Test series 1-1, setting the stage for a grand finale at Lord’s.
This match was not just about numbers—it was about resilience, strategy, and leadership in the absence of star pacer Jasprit Bumrah. From batting solidity to relentless bowling pressure, India ticked every box at Edgbaston.
🎯 Key Performers – India vs England 2nd Test:
🔹 Akash Deep: The new hero in Indian bowling. His 10 wickets across both innings, including the final wicket of Brydon Carse, sealed the win and silenced critics questioning team selection.
🔹 Shubman Gill: A true captain’s knock. While not chasing personal milestones, Gill’s composure with the bat and field placements under pressure were top-notch.
🔹 Mohammed Siraj: Stepped up as the attack leader in Bumrah’s absence. Created sustained pressure and offered key breakthroughs.

“Without Jasprit bhai, there were a lot of questions. But Akash and Siraj bowled brilliantly. We showed we can take 20 wickets in any condition.”

Ben Stokes (England):
“Tough loss. We had India at 200/5, then 80/5 ourselves. Hard to claw back from there. Akash Deep bowled skillfully, targeting the crack well.”
