India Dominates England in ODI Series with 3-0 Sweep
NEW DELHI: India showcased their cricketing prowess by clinching a resounding 3-0 ODI series sweep over England, highlighted by a commanding 142-run victory in Ahmedabad. Shubman Gill was the star of the match, scoring a brilliant 112 runs off 102 balls, leading India to a formidable total of 356 runs after being put in to bat.
England started their chase with promise but quickly fell apart, collapsing to 214 all out in just 34.2 overs, thanks to Arshdeep Singh’s early breakthroughs. This series victory follows India’s impressive 4-1 win in the T20I series, further solidifying their status as a dominant force in white-ball cricket.
With the ICC Champions Trophy approaching, set to begin on February 19 in Pakistan and Dubai, the Indian squad appears to be in excellent form, ready to take on the challenges ahead.
A Humorous Trophy Mix-Up
In a light-hearted twist post-victory, an amusing incident unfolded during the celebrations. After Rohit Sharma accepted the trophy from ICC Chairman Jay Shah, the team posed for photos, only to walk away, inadvertently leaving the trophy behind. A now-viral video captured the moment when Rohit, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul realized the blunder and hurried back to retrieve it. Fans quickly took to social media, humorously commenting, “Trophy hi bhool gaye [they forgot the trophy]!”
Reflecting on the series, Rohit Sharma stated, “I don’t see anything wrong we did this series. Obviously, there are certain things we are looking at to improve.” Shubman Gill emerged as the series’ top scorer, amassing 259 runs, including a century and two fifties, reinforcing his status as India’s in-form batter.
