The second Test match between India and England will begin at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham from July 2. This Test match is important for Team India as it has lagged 0–1 in the series. Given the old record of Edgbaston, Team India’s return seems difficult to return here. Nevertheless, something has happened in this ground, which has not been able to do any Indian bowler in any other ground in England. This is amazing to take 10 wickets in a Test match, which has been able to do only one bowler from India till date. Who is that bowler, tells about it.
Record made 39 years ago
First talk of India’s record in Edgbaston. On this ground, Team India has to play the second match of the Test series and there is pressure to return. In the first Test played in Leeds, he had to face defeat by 5 wickets at the hands of the hosts. Now the team captained by Shubman Gill will land in Edgbaston, where Team India’s record has always been bad. On this ground, Team India has played a total of 8 Test matches, out of which it has suffered defeat in 7.
On the grounds of Edgbaston, Team India has been able to avoid its defeat in only one Test till date. This happened 39 years ago and the reason for this was the bowler, whose name is still a record of best bowling in England from India. This wonder was done by fast bowler Chetan Sharma. Right -handed Pesar Sharma took a total of 10 wickets in the Test match played in 1986, out of which 6 victims came in the same innings. On this, the Indian team was successful in getting this match draw.
Bumrah missed by equal
This record of Chetan Sharma is still intact today. No second Indian bowler has been able to take 10 wickets in the Test match on the land of England before and after him till date. Even the best fast bowlers of this era like Jaspreet Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Ishant Sharma could not do this wonders. Bumrah reached the closest to this, when he took 9 wickets in the Nottingham Test match on the last tour of Team India in 2021. As far as Edgbaston is concerned, after Chetan Sharma here, India has the highest number of wickets from former spinner Bhagavad Chandrashekhar, who took 8 wickets.
