India vs England Live: IND at 138/3 in 20 Overs, Iyer Out

Beginning on February 6, 2025, at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur, India and England are now engaged in a three-match One Day International (ODI) series. For both countries, this series is an essential prelude to the forthcoming ICC Champions Trophy.

Overview of the Match:

England was knocked out for 248 runs after batting first in the first ODI. England's batting order was well contained by the outstanding performances of India's spinners, particularly Ravindra Jadeja and Harshit Rana. 

Ben Duckett and Phil Salt had bold starts, but England's middle order was dismissed below a par score because they were unable to sustain momentum.

India started their innings with consistent contributions from Axar Patel and Shubman Gill as they chased a goal of 249 runs. 

After overcoming cramping to reach his fiftieth birthday, Gill had a strong base for the pursuit. But England's bowlers were able to take important wickets, which put more pressure on India's chase

Important Players and Techniques:

In an effort to bolster their team, India brought back veteran players like KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, and skipper Rohit Sharma for this series. However, veteran batsman Joe Root returned to England's team, and captain Jos Buttler emphasized the need of early wickets and an aggressive batting strategy in order to counter India's strong batting order.
