1st ODI: Gill, Iyer, And Patel Fifties Help India Outplay England By Four Wickets
Vidarbha Cricket Association: Shubman Gill missed a well-deserved century but shared big partnerships with Shreyas Iyer (59) and Axar Patel (52) as India survived a flurry of late wickets to beat England by four wickets in the first ODI of the three-match series at the Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) Stadium here on Thursday.
Chasing 249 for victory after Ravindra Jadeja (3-26) and debutant Harshit Rana (3-53) helped the hosts bundle out England for a modest total and playing without the talismanic Virat Kohli, Gill, Iyer and Axar each struck fifties as India reached 251/6 off 38.4 overs to win with 68 balls to spare.
Gill was out for 87 as he shared a 94-run partnership for third wicket with Iyer and a 108-run stand for fourth with Axar as India raced to a comprehensive win after Buttler had won the toss and elected to bat first..
