Virat Kohli finally reacts after India's historic 336-run win over England in 2nd Test at Edgbaston, gives special mention to two match winners

Meanwhile, right after Shubman Gill's brigade's historic win, India's batting juggernaut Virat Kohli, who recently retired from Test cricket, came up with a special post for the team.

Kohli took to X, to write:

"Great victory for India at Edgbaston. Fearless and kept pushing England to the wall. Brilliantly led by Shubhman with the bat and in the field and impactful performances from everyone. Special mention to Siraj and Akash for the way they bowled on this pitch".

England, while chasing a colossal target of 608 runs, ultimately succumbed for 271, handing India a commanding victory and enabling them to level the series at 1-1. This was also India's first win under Shubman Gill's captaincy. Gill achieved a feat feat that had eluded eight previous Indian captains on English soil. Since India's inaugural Test match at Edgbaston in 1967, no Indian skipper had managed to guide the team to a win at this iconic venue.

The long wait began under Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, who captained India in a losing effort in 1967. The drought continued through the tenures of captains such as Ajit Wadekar (1974), S. Venkataraghavan (1979), Kapil Dev (1986), and Mohammad Azharuddin (1996)—all of whom experienced defeat at the Birmingham ground.

With this landmark victory, Shubman Gill not only led from the front with his batting prowess but also etched his name into the record books as the first Indian captain to achieve success at Edgbaston—finally bringing an end to India’s long-standing jinx at this particular venue.

This resounding win also marks Team India's biggest overseas victory in terms of runs, alongside being their first ever Test match victory at Edgbaston.
