Edgbaston in Birmingham presents a considerable hurdle for the Indian cricket team, especially in the realm of Test cricket. Although India boasts a record of 169 matches played in England across various formats, including nine Test wins, 45 ODI wins, and six T20I victories, the team has yet to secure a Test win at Edgbaston. Out of eight Test matches played at this venue, India has faced defeat in all. This history began in 1967.
In contrast, India’s ODI record at Edgbaston is more favorable, with eight wins out of the twelve matches played.
Examining the Test records at Edgbaston, the batting performance of Indian batsmen has been a challenge. They have exceeded 300 runs only once in 16 innings at this ground. Their lowest score recorded is 92. The solitary draw for India occurred in 1967, when they also clinched the series. Key moments at the ground include Alastair Cook’s 294 in 2011, which led to England’s innings and 242-run win, with England scoring a record 710/7. In 2022, England chased down India’s target of 378 with seven wickets in hand.
