After a historic loss to kickstart Shubman Gill’s Test run, Team India look for redemption when they face England in the second Test at the iconic Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham. Ben Stokes and his men scripted a record 371-run chase on a not-so-tricky Headingley ground. Now, amidst the selection dilemmas that set to question India’s choices, the preparations have been going on to save the series and have a decent start at the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 cycle.
India & their poor record at Edgbaston
India’s record in England isn’t exactly stellar, with only 9 Test wins, 45 ODI wins, and 6 T20I wins out of 169 matches across formats. But things get even more daunting when you look at Edgbaston’s stats. Out of 8 Tests played at this Birmingham venue, India hasn’t managed a single win. Yeah, you read that right – 8 matches, 0 wins.
Their first match here was way back in 1967, and they’re still waiting for that elusive win. On the flip side, India has done pretty well in ODIs at Edgbaston, winning 8 out of 12 matches. This iconic ground, home to Warwickshire County Cricket Club, has been hosting international cricket since 1902 and is known for its electric atmosphere. With a rich history spanning over 140 years, Edgbaston has been a regular haunt for England’s international matches, making it a fortress for the home team.
