With this win, Shubman Gill became the first Asian captain to lead his team to a Test victory at Edgbaston, breaking England’s strong record at the ground against Asian teams. He led by example, almost scoring a triple-century in the first innings and getting another century in the second.

The next match will be at Lord’s from July 10 to 14. India will be boosted by the return of Jasprit Bumrah, who missed the second Test to manage his workload. Prasidh Krishna might be left out for that game, but the rest of the team is likely to stay the same.
