England v Australia: 3rd Investec Ashes Test - Day Two
India's record in Edgbaston is hardly inspiring

The Indian team’s record at Edgbaston, Birmingham reads thus – 6 games played with five losses and just a solitary draw that was eked out in 1986.

The first time the side played at the stadium was in 1967 and in their next two tours to the country, i.e., in 1974 and 1979, they were unable to garner respectability and returned with unfavourable results. After the draw in 1986, the next two outings in 1996 and 2011 ended with a loss as well.

In 2011, under the captaincy of MS Dhoni, the visitors fell for just 224 in the first innings. In reply, England pulled up a mammoth score of 710 for seven declared in the second, which was never going to save India from yet another defeat in this ground.
