Team India achieved a historic victory in the Edgbaston Test against England, marking their first-ever win at this venue. This triumph was particularly significant as previous Indian teams had never managed to secure a victory in Birmingham. Despite the absence of star pacer Jasprit Bumrah, the team displayed remarkable resilience and skill. Prior to the match, an English journalist had highlighted India’s lackluster record at Edgbaston, casting doubt on their ability to succeed. However, Shubman Gill, leading the team, proved the skeptics wrong. During the post-match press conference, Gill humorously addressed the journalist who had questioned India’s chances. “I can’t see my favourite journalist. Where is he? I wanted to see him,” Gill quipped, playfully trolling the reporter. He emphasized his belief in the team’s capabilities rather than dwelling on historical statistics. Gill expressed confidence in his squad’s potential to win the series, stating that with consistent decision-making and determination, they could achieve memorable victories. Gill also praised the exceptional performance of bowlers Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj, who stepped up in Bumrah’s absence. “Our bowlers were magnificent,” Gill remarked, highlighting their ability to take crucial wickets and change the game’s momentum. He explained that while runs are hard to stop on a flat pitch with a soft ball, the introduction of a harder ball can turn the tide in favor of the bowling side. Reflecting on his own batting performance, Gill shared that he began preparing for the England series during the IPL 2025. He stressed the importance of focusing on internal team trust rather than external opinions, which can fluctuate with each game. This victory at Edgbaston not only broke a longstanding jinx but also showcased India’s potential to excel on foreign soil.
