1st ODI: Rana, Jadeja Claim Three Each As India Bowl Out England For 248
Debutant Harshit Rana: Debutant Harshit Rana and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja claimed three wickets apiece as India pegged back England in the middle overs to bundle them out for 248 in 47.4 overs in the first ODI of the three-match series at the Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) stadium here on Thursday.
Hammered for 26 runs in an over by Phil Salt in his debut match, Rana showed great courage to come back strongly and claimed 3-53 while Jadeja was exceptional in bagging 3-26 as India showed their bowling power once again at home to restrict England to what appears to be a manageable chase despite fighting fifties by Jos Buttler (52) and Jacob Bethell (51).
After skipper Buttler elected to bat first, England made a decent start before they were pulled back in the middle overs, falling for a small total. The Indian batters would definitely fancy their chances as dew is expected to set in and make bowling a bit difficult in the second innings on a pitch that had a good pace and bounce.
