🏆 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.

🎯 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.
