Batting first, India posted an imposing total of 356 runs, with Shubman Gill leading the charge. On his 50th ODI appearance, Gill smashed a brilliant century, scoring 112 runs off 95 balls. This marked his seventh ODI century, breaking a 14-innings dry spell. His innings were supported by stellar contributions from Shreyas Iyer, who scored a quick 78 off 64 balls, and Virat Kohli, who chipped in with a composed 52.
The partnerships were the backbone of India’s innings. Gill and Kohli added 116 runs together, followed by a 104-run stand between Gill and Iyer. KL Rahul’s late blitz of 40 runs from 29 balls, coupled with lower-order cameos, pushed India to their highest ODI score at this venue.
Adil Rashid stood out for England with career-best figures in India, claiming 4 wickets for 64 runs. However, his efforts weren’t enough to stem the flow of runs as India’s batters piled on the pressure.
Chasing 357, England started positively, reaching 126 for 2 by the 18th over. Openers Ben Duckett and Phil Salt provided a brisk start, with Duckett racing to 34 runs before being deceived by Arshdeep Singh’s clever knuckleball. Despite this promising beginning, the middle order collapsed spectacularly, with the team losing 8 wickets for just 88 runs, folding at 214 in 34.2 overs.
England’s middle order woes continued, as none of the batters, except Gus Atkinson (38 off 19 balls) and Tom Banton (38), managed to make a meaningful contribution. Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, and Washington Sundar shared the spoils, dismantling England’s lineup with their crafty bowling.
India’s bowling attack rose to the occasion, even with key players like Mohammed Shami, Ravindra Jadeja, and Varun Chakravarthy rested. Kuldeep Yadav struck crucial blows, while Washington Sundar and Axar Patel kept England’s batters guessing. Harshit Rana also impressed, dismissing key players Jos Buttler and Harry Brook.
The bowlers showcased versatility, adapting to conditions and executing their plans flawlessly. This clinical performance reaffirmed India’s depth and readiness for the challenges ahead.
