Before the commencement of the Test series between India and England, hardly anyone would have thought that in the first two matches, Team India will put pressure on its hosts in this way. In the first Test match played in Leeds, Team India had a strong performance but still had to face defeat. But in the Edgbaston Test, the team captained by Shubman Gill made their dominance for 4 consecutive days and rained the records. On the fourth day of the match, Team India again scored a big score and made history by completing one thousand runs for the first time.
From the first day of this match, which started on July 2 at Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham, the Indian team was completely dominated by England. On the first and second day, Captain Shubman's bat went on the magic, who played a record and historic innings of 269 runs. On this, Team India scored a strong score of 587 runs in the first innings. In response, Team India stopped England for 407 runs with the help of Mohammad Siraj and Akash Deep's deadly bowling and took a lead of 180 runs.
For the first time Team India crosses 1000
After doing this amazing in the first 3 days, the Indian team continued on the fourth day and once again captain Gill went ahead and took the front. After getting down at number four, Gill scored third in this series and second consecutive centuries in the match. The star batsman batting quickly and scored 161 runs in 162 balls. He also joined the rest of the batsmen and Team India declared their second innings on 427 runs.
Team India did wonders in both innings, which he had never done in his Test history before. For the first time, the Indian team scored more than a thousand runs in a Test match. India scored a total of 1014 runs in both innings. For the sixth time in Test cricket, a team has been able to do this, while this is the fourth biggest score. The world record is the name of England, which scored 1121 runs against the West Indies in 1930.
Waiting for victory in Edgbaston?
The batsmen showed their wonders in both innings but the bowlers also did not lag behind. Like the second day of the match, on the fourth day, the England team came out for batting in the last session and once again Akash Deep wreaked havoc with Mohammad Siraj with a new ball. Akash again made Ben Docket his victim, while Joe Root was also bolded on a surprising ball. At the same time, Siraj returned Jack Croly without opening the account. Team India won not a single Test in Edgbaston in 58 years of history. The team had to face defeat 7 times. This time Team India has a chance to finish the wait with 7 wickets on the last day, while England will need 536 more runs.
