India, under the leadership of Shubman Gill, will play England in the second Test of the current five-match series. The iconic Edgbaston in Birmingham will host the intense match. Prominent players from both teams, including Shubman Gill, Joe Root, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, and Yashasvi Jaiswal, are aiming for significant milestones in this eagerly anticipated match.
Indian batting maestro Virat Kohli (5) got the third most centuries against England in Test cricket. It's interesting to note that the dynamic batter Rishabh Pant has scored five Test hundreds against England. He recently entered the list of India's cricket greats after smashing two consecutive hundreds in the Leeds Test.
Pant will therefore surpass Kohli and join Mohammad Azharuddin in terms of the most tons for India in Test matches against England if he hits another century at Edgbaston. However, the list is overall topped by Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid with 7 each.
With a total of 2927 runs, legendary England batsman Joe Root is the most successful batter in India vs England Test matches. As a result, he needs just 73 runs to make history and become the first batter to score 3000 Test runs in matchups between the two sides.
The Indian team suffered a loss in the opening Test against England and are now preparing for the second one as they aim to level the series.
