⚡ Big Drama at Edgbaston! Jaiswal Shines, Bumrah Benched – India vs England 2nd Test 2025 Full Match Report 🏏🔥

🧠 Introduction – Cricket Fans, Buckle Up!

Cricket lovers, the drama is real at Edgbaston! 🇮🇳 vs 🏴 England – the second Test of the 2025 series has begun with surprises, strong starts, and some eyebrow-raising decisions. The big headline? Jasprit Bumrah is resting, and Yashasvi Jaiswal is lighting up the scoreboard again! 🎯

By Lunch on Day 1, India stands at 98/2 with Jaiswal smashing a solid 62 off 69 balls. England’s pacers, especially Chris Woakes, tried to dominate early—but India had some answers, especially in the form of Karun Nair’s comeback and a twist in team strategy.

Let’s break it all down. 👇

🏟️ Match Highlights – Day 1 Action Begins

With overcast skies and some green patches on the pitch, England skipper Ben Stokes hoped to use the conditions to his advantage by bowling first.

Strategic Move: Bumrah Rested for Workload Management 🏏

India’s top pacer Jasprit Bumrah is out of this crucial match due to workload management. Captain Shubman Gill confirmed the plan: play Bumrah in the third Test at Lord’s instead. India made three changes:

🔥 Player Highlights & Key Moments

🧨 Jaiswal on Fire!

Young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal once again showed why he’s becoming a fan favorite. He reached 62 runs off just 69 balls before lunch, taking the attack to England bowlers with stylish drives and clever placements. His control against short-pitched bowling was especially impressive.

😫 KL Rahul’s Forgettable Knock

KL Rahul struggled big time—2 runs from 26 balls before getting bowled by a Chris Woakes delivery that lifted sharply. His footwork looked uncertain, and his defensive technique seemed off.

👏 Karun Nair’s Comeback

Back in the team after a long break, Karun Nair looked steady, confidently stroking some beautiful drives. Despite early nervous moments, he helped stabilize India’s innings.

🔄 Impact on the Series

England lead the 5-match series 1-0 after their incredible run chase at Headingley last week. With Edgbaston being England’s fortress (7 wins out of 8 against India), this match could define the entire series.

If India levels the series 1-1, the momentum shifts back. But without Bumrah, can their bowlers take 20 wickets?
