Mohammed Siraj delivered a standout performance in the second Test match between India and England at Edgbaston, taking a six-wicket haul—the first by an Indian bowler in England and South Africa. This achievement marked Siraj's fourth five-wicket haul in Test cricket and his second-best bowling figures at Edgbaston. His six-wicket haul is the first by a visiting pacer at the venue since 1993 and ranks as the third-best by an overseas fast bowler at Edgbaston. Siraj's previous five-wicket hauls also contributed to historic Indian wins at Brisbane, Cape Town, and Birmingham. Ahead of the upcoming fourth Test at Old Trafford, India faces injury challenges with Arshdeep Singh and Nitish Reddy ruled out, while Anshul Kamboj has been added to the squad. Despite injury concerns, Jasprit Bumrah is confirmed to be included in India's playing XI for the Manchester Test.
