India Vs England: Four Indians To Score Test Hundreds At Edgbaston, Birmingham
Last Updated:
India to face England in the second Test at Edgbaston after losing the first match.
India are all set to play England in the second Test of the five-match series at Edgbaston in Birmingham and would look to go all out after losing the first match of the series in Headingley by five wickets to go 0-1 down.
Although India lost the Headingley Test, a highlight of the game was five centuries from India at the venue, a first for the country in the longest format.
India, who have played eight Tests at Edgbaston from 1967 to 2022, have never won at this venue. They drew once back in 1986, but otherwise, the numbers are dismal.
Let's take a look at the Indian players who have flourished at Edgbaston with hundreds, although never in a winning cause:
Sachin Tendulkar: 122, India tour of England 1996
Opting to bat first, India posted 214, with Dominic Cork picking four wickets. England responded with 313, riding on Nasser Hussain's hundred. Javagal Srinath and Venkatesh Prasad picked four wickets apiece.
In the second innings, India posted 219, riding on Tendulkar 's 122, with Chris Lewis picking five wickets. England had to chase just 121, which they sailed past with skipper Mike Atherton scoring 53.
Virat Kohli: 149, India tour of England, 2018
Opting to bat first, England posted 287, with Ravichandran Ashwin picking four wickets. India responded with 274, riding on Kohli's 149. Sam Curran picked up four wickets.
In the second innings, England posted just 180, with Ishant Sharma picking five wickets. India had to chase just 194, but Ben Stokes' four-wicket haul restricted them to 162, despite Kohli's 51-run knock.
To this day, the ace Indian batter remains the highest run-scorer in Tests at Edgbaston, with 231 runs in two matches at a stunning average of 57.75.
Rishabh Pant 146 & Ravindra Jadeja 104: India tour of England, 2022
Put in to bat first, India posted a whopping 416, riding on Rishabh Pant's 146 and Ravindra Jadeja's 104, despite James Anderson's five wickets. In response, England were bowled out for 284, despite Jonny Bairstow's century, as Mohammed Siraj picked four wickets.
India were bowled out for 245 in the second innings, with Stokes picking four wickets. England had to chase 378 to win and riding on Joe Root and Bairstow's hundreds, they went past the target.

'I take complete responsibility': Prasidh Krishna finally reacts after unwanted record in 1st Test
India pacer Prasidh Krishna took full responsibility for his poor performance in the first Test against England at Headingley. Prasidh admitted he failed to hit the right lengths and is now working to improve under coach Morne Morkel ahead of the second Test. read more Prasidh Krishna has admitted he was not at his best in the first Test against England at Headingley, where he ended up creating an unwanted record. The Indian pacer became the first bowler in Test history to concede more than a run a ball in both innings after bowling at least 15 overs in each. India's poor bowling in one of the reasons behind the shocking loss despite scoring five centuries in the match. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Also Read: Abhishek Nayar reveals how Rohit Sharma helped KL Rahul make a comeback: 'I told him, listen, we've got 15 days' Prasidh Krishna takes responsibility for poor bowling Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Prasidh said he bowled too short in the first innings and couldn't hit the right length consistently. Prasidh's economy rate was the highest ever for an Indian bowler in a Test match. In the second innings, he improved his length and looked a bit more threatening, but the damage had already been done. 'If I look at the first innings, I was a little too short than where I wanted to be. Definitely 6-8[m] is ideal. That's what I would say. I think second innings it got slightly better, but because again the wicket was slightly slower, I had to pitch a few slightly behind it and then go slightly fuller when I'm trying to get a wicket. So, yeah, I definitely did not bowl the lengths that I wanted to,' Prasidh was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo. 'Not wanting to float it up there is definitely one of the reasons. And also, it honestly took me some time to get used to the slope that side. But I should be able to do it as a professional. I take complete responsibility about it, and then maybe I do it better next time,' he added.

India's head coach Gautam Gambhir backed Prasidh after the loss, saying the bowler has the tools to succeed in red-ball cricket. However, Prasidh will need to learn fast, especially with Jasprit Bumrah likely to miss two of the remaining Tests. Prasidh was seen training hard in the nets at Edgbaston on Saturday ahead of the second Test match. He, along with other bowlers including Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, bowled at full intensity before trying their hands on batting. India are currently 1-0 down in the five-match series and will look to bounce back in the next game starting from 2 July. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
