IND vs ENG / Gill has a chance to create history, no Indian captain has been able to do this feat

IND vs ENG: Team India, led by Shubman Gill, has lost the first match of the Test series against England, but there is still every possibility of a comeback in this five-match series. The second Test match of the series will be played at Edgbaston ground in Birmingham from July 2. In this match, Gill not only has a chance to level the series, but also has a golden opportunity to add a new chapter to the history of Indian cricket.

The search for victory in Birmingham has remained incomplete so far

The Indian team has played a total of eight Test matches in Birmingham so far, but has not been able to register a single win till date. India had to face defeat in seven of these eight matches, while one match was a draw. In the year 1967, Team India played Test for the first time on this ground, but since then many Indian captains have come and gone, but the dream of victory remained unfulfilled.

Will Gill be able to break this misfortune?

Now it is Shubman Gill's turn. If he is successful in registering a win on this ground, he will become the first Indian captain to win a Test in Birmingham. Earlier, the players who captained here include Ajit Wadekar, S Venkataraghavan, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, Kapil Dev, Mohammad Azharuddin, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli and Jaspreet Bumrah. All of them captained on this ground only once, but no one got the victory.

The competition will be tough

This Test series going on between India and England will continue till August. After losing the first match, India will now have to put in all its strength in every match. There is a possibility of change in Team India's playing eleven for the second Test. On the other hand, England has made a big announcement that fast bowler Jofra Archer is returning to the Test team. Archer will return to Test cricket after about four years, which will increase the excitement of the match.
