Edgbaston: The Fortress India Has Yet to Conquer
As the second Rothesay Test of the high-stakes England vs India 2025 series approaches, all eyes turn to Edgbaston—a venue rich with cricketing heritage, electric crowds, and a record that has remained stubbornly out of India’s reach. From July 2 to 6, 2025, Birmingham will host the latest chapter of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, with India desperately looking to rewrite a painful history.
Birmingham, home to a large Indian diaspora (over 6% of the city’s population), transforms into a sea of blue whenever India plays. Yet, despite the passionate backing, Edgbaston has remained a fortress India has never breached in Test cricket. Of the eight Tests played here, India has lost seven and drawn just one (in 1986). No other ground in England has haunted the team quite like this.
