Top 3 batting performances by Indian players at Edgbaston

After the disappointing first Test match against England, the stage is set for the second Test match of the five-match test series.  Shubman Gill and company will now travel to Edgbaston, Birmingham, to play in the second Test match. The first test match between India and England ended in an England win as they chased down the total of 71 runs. As the chase started for England, Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley provided a good start to the innings. With Joe Root scoring his half-century, England won the game and took the lead in the series.

In the recent past, India has enjoyed success at various stadiums across the country, but Edgbaston is one location where it has not been successful in Test cricket. India has played eight Tests in Birmingham, but has never won a Test match at this venue. India played their first Test match at Edgbaston in 1967.

1. Sachin Tendulkar:

Sachin Tendulkar is the first Indian batter to have a century at this venue. During his remarkable career, he played two Test matches at the venue, scoring 187 runs at an average of 46.75, with his highest score being 122. Despite his century, India couldn’t win the match.

2. Virat Kohli:

India had to wait for 22 years for another Indian batter to score a century at Edgbaston. Virat Kohli scored a century in 2018.  After smashing his hundred, he went on to score 149 runs to end his poor form on English soil. In the second innings, he scored 51 runs, but India failed to win the game.

3. Rishabh Pant:

Rishabh Pant enjoys playing Test cricket with an aggressive mentality. During the 2022 England tour, he demonstrated the same mindset. While facing some of the great bowlers from the English side, Pant scored 146 runs against them in the second innings. As he is part of the series for the second test match, he might show his batting class again. In the first test, he scored a twin century.
