Birmingham, July 10, 2025: Following a narrow five-wicket defeat in the thrilling first Test at Headingley, India, led by captain Shubman Gill, is poised to make significant changes to its lineup for the crucial second Test against England starting today at Edgbaston.
Reports indicate a major shift in the bowling attack, with spearhead Jasprit Bumrah likely to be rested. His place is expected to be taken by the experienced Mohammed Siraj, adding fresh pace to the Indian attack for the Birmingham encounter.
The changes aren't confined to the bowling department. Young batter Sai Sudharsan is reportedly set to be dropped after the Headingley Test. His potential omission paves the way for a possible recall for the seasoned Cheteshwar Pujara, aiming to bolster the middle-order stability that faltered in Leeds.
These anticipated adjustments come as India seeks to level the five-match series 1-0 down. The dramatic first Test, decided in the final hour of the fifth day, highlighted the fine margins in this contest. The iconic Edgbaston ground, a venue of past Indian triumphs, now sets the stage for Gill's reshaped side to mount their fightback.
The final confirmation of India's playing XI will be revealed by Captain Shubman Gill at the toss later today.
