India Vs England 1st ODI: Shubman Gill Anchors IND To Four-Wicket Win In Nagpur

Shubman Gill played a crucial role in India's chase, scoring a solid 87 runs as India secured a four-wicket victory over England in the opening One-Day International (ODI) in Nagpur on Thursday. Chasing a target of 249 runs, India successfully reached it in 38.4 overs. The innings got off to a shaky start for India as they lost openers Rohit Sharma (2 runs) and Yashasvi Jaiswal early on. However, Shreyas Iyer's aggressive 59, along with Gill's 87 and Axar Patel's contribution of 52, helped India cross the finish line. For England, Saqib Mahmood and Adil Rashid each took two wickets. Earlier, India dismissed England for 248 runs, with debutant Harshit Rana taking 3 wickets for 53 runs and Ravindra Jadeja claiming 3 wickets for just 26 runs. Their efforts were crucial in slowing down the visitors after England had made a strong start.
