In a stunning display of dominance, India, led by captain Shubman Gill, secured a historic 336-run victory against England in the second Test at Edgbaston on July 6, 2025, leveling the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series at 1-1.

This marked India's first-ever Test win at the venue, ending a drought stretching back to 1986. India posted a formidable 587 in their first innings, anchored by Gill’s monumental 269, the highest score by an Indian captain in a Test in England. Ravindra Jadeja and Yashasvi Jaiswal also chipped in with vital contributions. England responded with 407, bolstered by centuries from Harry Brook and Jamie Smith, but Akash Deep’s fiery 6/99 kept India in control. In their second innings, India declared at 427/6, with Gill (161) and Rishabh Pant (65) setting an imposing target of 608.

England’s chase crumbled under pressure from India’s bowlers. Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep struck early, reducing England to 271, with Akash sealing a ten-wicket haul, including the final blow as Gill took a poetic catch to dismiss Brydon Carse.
