EDGBASTON, BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND, JUN 28 – Mohammed Siraj carries the burden as senior pacer with Jasprit Bumrah likely rested, needing to improve after just two wickets in the first Test, ahead of India’s second match at Edgbaston.
- India is set to face England in the second Test starting July 2 at Edgbaston, Birmingham, following their defeat in the opening match of the series.
- India's poor performance in the first Test, marked by a lower-order collapse and failure to defend a 371-run target, led to calls for urgent strategic changes.
- Head coach Gautam Gambhir, under mounting pressure, has rested Jasprit Bumrah for workload management, putting more responsibility on senior pacer Mohammed Siraj who showed focused batting practice ahead of the match.
- Aakash Chopra criticized India's tactical imbalance and emphasized that "if results don't come, there are no excuses," warning Gambhir's leadership could be scrutinized if the team fails to bounce back.
- India aims for a strong comeback in the series, with squad selection based on trust, not hope, as the team attempts to level the five-match contest after falling behind 0-1.
