India’s big win over Gill-Ayyar’s magnificent innings
Shubman Gill was the hero of Team India’s victory, who scored a 7th century of his ODI career. Gill played a brilliant innings of 112 runs, including 14 fours and 3 sixes. Apart from him, Shreyas Iyer scored 78 and Virat Kohli scored 52 runs. The special thing is that Virat scored a half -century in ODIs after 451 days.
Indian bowlers perform strong performance
Indian bowlers also performed brilliantly. Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Hardik Pandya and Akshar Patel took 2–2 wickets, while Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav got 1-1 wickets. The entire bowling unit kept the England batsmen tied.
England batsmen failure
The biggest reason for England’s defeat was the disappointing performance of his batsmen. Phil Soult (23), Ben Docket (34), Tom Banton (38), Joe Root (24) and Harry Brook (19) could not play a big innings despite a good start. Captain Jose Butler returned to the pavilion after scoring just 6 runs, while Livingstone scored only 9 runs in 23 balls. England’s batting also flopped in the T20 series, where he suffered a 1-4 defeat.
Team India’s historic victory
India registered their biggest ODI win against England in the last 11 years. This is India’s second biggest win against England in terms of runs. In 2008, India defeated England by 158 runs in Rajkot ODI, while Ahmedabad won by 142 runs. Along with this, under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, India made a clean sweep in the bilateral series for the fourth time, leaving behind Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virat Kohli, who achieved this feat three times.
