India`s bold lineup changes spark debate as they battle England in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Edgbaston.

The second Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 is underway at Edgbaston, Birmingham, where the stakes are high and the atmosphere electric. England`s captain, Ben Stokes, won the toss and opted to field first, a decision that set the stage for an intriguing battle. India, making three significant changes to their playing XI, saw Akash Deep, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Washington Sundar step in for Jasprit Bumrah, Sai Sudharsan, and Shardul Thakur.

The exclusion of young talent Sai Sudharsan, who struggled in his debut, has ignited a wave of criticism from fans who believe he deserved another chance to shine. As the match progressed, India found themselves at 63-1 after 17 overs, with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Karun Nair capitalizing on some loose bowling.

However, the team selection has come under scrutiny. Legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar voiced concerns over the strategy of stacking the XI with all-rounders, suggesting it may not be the optimal path forward. Meanwhile, Shubman Gill hinted at the potential benefits of including a second spinner, adding another layer of strategy to this gripping contest.
