In a stunning turnaround, India triumphed over England by a staggering 336 runs in the second Test at Edgbaston, leveling the five-match series at 1-1. After suffering a defeat in the first Test at Leeds, many had written off the Indian team, especially with star bowler Jasprit Bumrah being rested. However, Shubman Gill and his teammates silenced their critics with an impressive display in Birmingham.

Leading from the front, Shubman Gill showcased his batting prowess, scoring an impressive 269 runs in the first innings and 161 in the second. His remarkable contributions helped India set a daunting target of 608 runs for England. Gill's partnerships with Ravindra Jadeja, who scored 89, and Washington Sundar, who added 42, were pivotal in establishing India's commanding position.

India amassed a total of 587 runs in their first innings. England found themselves in a precarious situation at 211/5, but a resilient effort from Harry Brook, who scored 158, and Jamie Smith, who contributed 184, allowed them to reach 466 runs, still falling short. In their second innings, India declared after scoring quickly, leaving England with a monumental task, which they failed to meet, getting bowled out for 271.

Despite criticism for resting Bumrah during the second Test, his replacements, Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep, excelled, with Siraj taking 6 wickets and Akash Deep claiming 4 in the first innings. Akash Deep continued his impressive form in the second innings, finishing with a total of 10 wickets in the match. As the third Test at Lord's approaches on July 10, captain Gill confirmed that Bumrah will 'definitely' return, which is expected to significantly bolster the Indian squad.

India made history by scoring a total of 1,014 runs in the match, entering the exclusive 1,000-run club in Test cricket. Shubman Gill now leads the series with an impressive 585 runs across just two Tests. With the series tied and momentum on their side, India aims to continue their strong performance at the iconic venue of Lord's.
