The second Test between India and England at Edgbaston, Birmingham, is poised to be a stage for several players to achieve significant milestones. The match begins on July 2, 2025.

Rishabh Pant: Following his remarkable performance in the first Test at Headingley, Leeds, Rishabh Pant has the opportunity to surpass Virat Kohli's record of five Test centuries against England. Pant also has five centuries against England. If Pant scores a century in Edgbaston, he will exceed Kohli's record and equal Mohammad Azharuddin's record for most centuries by an Indian against England in Test matches. Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid hold the top spot with seven centuries each. In the first Test, Pant equaled the world record for the most sixes hit in a Test match played in England. He became the first Indian to achieve this feat.

Yashasvi Jaiswal: The young Indian opener, Yashasvi Jaiswal, has accumulated 1903 runs in 20 Test matches. If he scores 97 runs in the Edgbaston Test, he will become the fastest Indian to reach 2000 Test runs, surpassing Sunil Gavaskar, who achieved the milestone in 23 Tests. The Edgbaston game will be Jaiswal's 21st Test.

Jasprit Bumrah: While there are concerns about managing Jasprit Bumrah's workload, his participation in the Edgbaston Test could see him achieve a notable record. If Bumrah plays and takes a five-wicket haul, he will surpass Muttiah Muralitharan and join Wasim Akram as the Asian bowler with the most five-wicket hauls in SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia) countries. Bumrah currently has ten fifers, while Akram leads with eleven.

Joe Root: Joe Root, the legendary English cricketer, is already the most successful batter in India vs. England Tests, with 2927 runs. He needs 73 runs to become the first-ever batter to register 3000 Test runs in bilateral contests between the two teams. Root also equaled Rahul Dravid's record for the most catches as an outfielder in Test cricket, with 210 catches in 154 games. One more catch will make the record his own.

The India vs. England series has already seen thrilling action, and the second Test at Edgbaston promises more exciting cricket as these players aim to reach new heights.
