India Create History After Edgbaston Test; Become First Asian Team to....

In the second Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at Edgbaston, the Indian team put up a stellar performance. India won the 2nd Test against England by 336 runs, their biggest win in England. It was also their first-ever Test win at Edgbaston. India had played eight Tests at this venue before and never won. This time, they ended that long wait.
While Shubman Gill got most of the attention for his record-breaking double-century and Akash Deep was praised for his first 10-wicket haul, Siraj’s performance was just as important. On Day 3, he took two big wickets, Joe Root and Ben Stokes, in back-to-back deliveries. That spell changed the game and put England on the back foot. With this win, India added another feather to their cap as they registered an iconic win at one of the historic venues.

India Record After Edgbaston Win

After the victory in the IND vs ENG 2nd Test in Edgbaston, India have created history by becoming the first Asian team to win Test matches at the five famous overseas grounds in SENA countries over the last five years. It started with a win at the Gabba in Brisbane in 2021, followed by a victory at Centurion Park in South Africa the same year. In 2024, India won in Cape Town and at Optus Stadium in Perth. Here are the venues where India have won over the last five years.

• Brisbane 2021
• Centurion 2021
• Cape Town 2024
• Perth (Optus) 2024
• Birmingham 2025

Their latest win came at Edgbaston in England in 2025. India record after the Edgbaston win shows how strong they have become in Test cricket, even in tough foreign conditions. The Men in Blue are no longer the team that does well in home conditions, but also away from home.

Mohammed Siraj's Role in All These Tests

Interestingly, Mohammed Siraj is the only Indian player who has played in all five of these Tests. At the Gabba, Siraj took his first-ever five-wicket haul. He helped India win the Test and the series against Australia. This was also the first time India had won at the Gabba. At Centurion, he picked up three wickets and supported the bowling unit well. India won a Test at Centurion for the first time.

At Cape Town, he was at his absolute best. He took six wickets for just 15 runs, his best bowling figures so far. That helped India win their first-ever Test in Cape Town. At the Optus Stadium in Perth, Siraj took five wickets across both innings. His tight bowling helped India beat Australia in Perth for the first time.

And now, at Edgbaston during the IND vs ENG 2nd Test, his six-wicket haul played a key role in another famous win. Mohammed Siraj might not always be in the spotlight. But he has built a special place for himself in Indian cricket. He is now part of India’s greatest Test wins in recent years. Moreover, he is not just present in those matches; he is one of the main reasons why India has won them.

As India looks ahead to the 3rd Test at the Lord's, this massive win at Edgbaston will surely motivate the team to achieve more milestones and ultimately win the series against England. Shubman Gill and his team have performed well in both matches and will be eager to continue their run at Lord's.
