Exciting India vs England 1st ODI LIVE Score: India Triumphs by 4 Wickets to Lead 1-0!

In the first ODI of the series, India faced England and secured a thrilling victory by four wickets in Nagpur. India’s chase of 248 looked tricky when they lost their openers, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma, early on. However, Shreyas Iyer (59) and Shubman Gill (87) steadied the innings with a strong partnership. Their combined efforts helped India recover and eventually claim the win.

After Iyer’s departure, Axar Patel joined Gill, and together they pushed India closer to the target, with a partnership worth 108 runs. Axar contributed a solid 52 runs, showcasing his skills under pressure.

Earlier, England batted first but managed to score only 248 runs in 47.4 overs. Harshit Rana had an impressive debut, taking three wickets for 53 runs, while Ravindra Jadeja added to England’s troubles with figures of 3 for 26. Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, and Axar Patel also chipped in with a wicket each, ensuring England’s batting lineup faltered.

England initially started strong, reaching 71 runs for no loss. However, once Phil Salt was run out for 43, the rest of the batting order struggled to build substantial partnerships. Jos Buttler and Jacob Bethell chipped in with equal scores of 51, but their efforts were not enough to secure a competitive total.

Amidst the match, Virat Kohli was missed in the lineup due to a sore right knee. Despite this setback, the Indian team showcased resilience and skill, especially with the performance of Iyer and Gill, marking a positive beginning to the series.
