Under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, the Indian cricket team ended the 58-year drought at Edgbaston. Team India defeated England by a huge margin of 336 runs in the second Test.
This Test win is India's biggest ever in terms of runs on foreign soil. Captain Shubman Gill performed brilliantly for India in the match. He scored a double century in the first innings and a century in the second innings.
Apart from him, Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj wreaked havoc with the ball in bowling and thrashed the England batsmen. With the victory in this match, Team India equalized the series 1-1. Let us tell you the 5 big reasons for India's victory.
IND Vs ENG 2nd Test: 5 reasons that gave India a royal victory
1. Shubman Gill's record-breaking performance and captaincy
Team India captain Shubman Gill performed brilliantly with the bat in the Edgbaston Test. Gill scored 269 runs in the first innings of IND vs ENG 2nd Test and 161 runs in the second innings. He became the first player in Test history to score 250 and 150+ runs in the same match. Gill's calm captaincy and strong batting helped India to put up a big score.
2. Akashdeep's brilliant debut
In the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, fast bowler Akashdeep got a chance to debut. In the debut match, Akashdeep wreaked havoc with the ball and showed everyone his ability.
Akashdeep took a total of 10 wickets in the match (4/88 in the first innings and 6/99 in the second innings). His fast pace and ability to bowl at the right length stunned the British. Akashdeep played an important role in destroying the batting order of the English team.
3. Batsmen played in unity
Apart from Shubman Gill's explosive performance, the rest of the Indian batsmen also made important contributions. Ravindra Jadeja (89 and 69*), Yashasvi Jaiswal (87), Rishabh Pant (65), and KL Rahul (55) played important innings with the bat, which helped India score 587 and 427/6.
4. Excellent bowling even in challenging conditions
Despite the flat nature of the Edgbaston pitch, the Indian bowlers performed brilliantly. Especially Akashdeep and Mohammad Siraj, who bowled dangerously in the match and did not allow the England batsmen to stay at the crease. Akash Deep took 10 wickets, and Siraj took a total of 7 wickets.
5. Improvement in fielding
In the Headingley Test, the Indian players had performed shamefully in the field, due to which the team had to face defeat in the first Test. Yashasvi alone had dropped 4 catches, but Team India did not repeat this mistake in the Edgbaston Test. Indian captain Gill took a brilliant catch of Ben Duckett in the slip in England's first innings.
