The Indian cricket team created history at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham on Sunday (July 6) as they completed a memorable 336-run victory in the second Test of the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy to ensure the five-match series is level 1-1 after two games.

The Shubman Gill-led side created history as they won at the ground for the first time in history after nine outings. They are also the first Asian side to register a victory at the venue. India's victory margin is their best away from home as well as the home team's heaviest defeat at the venue in history (by runs).

India Creates History

India had a memorable display with the bat as they scored a stunning tally of 1014 runs in the match after scoring 587 in the first innings and putting up a massive tally of 427/6 in the second innings. This marked the first instance of the Asian giants breaching the 1000-run tally in Test cricket. Overall, the Gill-led side is the only sixth side in Test cricket history to go past the mark.

Among the six instances, only thrice has the team won the match, with two of them coming away form home. The last instance of an away team scoring 1000 runs and winning the match before India was 91 years ago in 1934 when Australia beat England at the Oval.

India's scoring rate of 4.33 is also the best for a team that scored more than 1000 runs over the two innings.The two-time World Test Championship (WTC) runners-up are the only the second team in the 21st century to go past the 1000-run mark and the first to do it at home.
