Former cricketers Virat Kohli and Yuvraj Singh went over the moon after the Shubman Gill-led India demolished England by 336 runs in the second Test to register their first-ever win in nine attempts at Edgbaston in Birmingham. It was also Gill’s first win as Indian Test captain. India had earlier lost seven Tests and drew one at this venue before today. 

Having been set a mountain to climb, England were never in the chase of 608 runs in the fourth innings, courtesy pacer Akash Deep, who took his maiden five-wicket haul in international cricket, to finish with 6/99. He had also taken four wickets in the first innings to finish the game with 10 wickets – second Indian after Chetan Sharma on English soil. 

Earlier, Mohammed Siraj had taken a six-wicket haul in the first innings while captain Gill blazed his way into the record books with 269 and 161. With this win, India levelled the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 1-1 with three more Tests to go.
