Right then, that brings an end to this relatively one-sided contest, with India securing a commanding victory to take a 1-0 lead in this three-match ODI series. The action now shifts to Cuttack, where the second ODI will be played at the Barabati Stadium on Sunday, 9th February 2025. The first ball is set to be bowled at 1.30 pm IST (8 am GMT), and our build-up will begin well in advance, so make sure to tune in early. Until then, it's cheers and goodbye!
Shubman Gill is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his match-winning knock of 87 runs. Says that there was a bit in it for the pacers, so it was important for him to show the intent and avoid playing on the back foot. Tells that Iyer is a batter who takes the game on and it was a good decision from him to counterattack. Shares that the pull shot he played through mid-wicket was his favourite shot of the innings. Adds that it was a bit two-paced wicket and this was a wicket where the slower you bowl, the more turn you would get. Mentions that he looked to play shots square of the wicket and not play down the ground since some balls were stopping a bit. Further says that it is a good learning experience for him as a vice-captain.
Rohit Sharma, the victorious skipper of India says they are very happy and they came into this format after a long gap and wanted to start well. Mentions the way they came back after being put under pressure by the English openers and adds that with this being a slightly longer format they need to believe and put performances to pull things back. Appreciates the efforts in the field and the way the bowlers chipped in. On Axar Patel's knock he says, he has proved time and again and that they specifically wanted a left-hander in the middle and his partnership with Gill was superb. Says that overall as a team, he wants them to do the basics right and tick every box there is to be ticked. Feels that they should have avoided losing wickets towards the end.
Jos Buttler, the skipper of England says that they are disappointed with the loss, especially after the kind of start they got. Adds that they were short of another 40-50 runs which could prove to be crucial. Mentions that they will have to keep hold of the momentum for larger periods which they haven't been able to do thus far. Says that they had their moments early with the ball but couldn't find more wickets and appreciates the way the Indians batted. Concludes that they will now look to play better and execute well and try to capitalize on the momentum that comes their way.
It's time for the Presentation Ceremony ...
Axar Patel is in for a quick chat. He says he knew he would get promoted up the order well in advance to have that right-left combination going. On the way Indian bowlers came back, he mentions that the quicker balls were coming nicely onto the bat and they wanted to vary some pace and he wanted to keep it tight on the stumps. Further adds that there was enough assistance in the pitch for the spinners and they wanted to keep it tight and force the batters to make mistakes. On his partnership with Gill, he says they had a chat about taking it slowly and then targeting bowlers and taking the game deep because it would be difficult for the new batters to come in and play their strokes straightaway.
Earlier in the game, England came out all guns blazing, with Phil Salt and Ben Duckett launching a fiery assault on debutant Harshit Rana, propelling their side to a rapid 75/0. Just when it seemed like a one-way traffic, India roared back in stunning fashion, striking not once, but thrice in the space of just eight balls to shift the momentum. Jos Buttler looked in fine touch, anchoring the innings, while Jacob Bethell, despite looking a bit unsettled, contributed valuable runs. Both batters reached well-deserved half-centuries, but India’s disciplined bowling ensured that England never truly ran away with the game. Harshit Rana bounced back brilliantly from his expensive start, finishing with three wickets, while Ravindra Jadeja worked his magic in the middle overs, also claiming three crucial scalps. In the end, England were bundled out for just 248 in under 48 overs, as India’s bowlers kept the pressure on and took wickets at regular intervals.
Gill battled through cramps but never lost his rhythm, while Axar remained composed and fluent at the crease. Both batters registered well-deserved half-centuries, steering India comfortably towards victory. However, just before the finishing line, Adil Rashid managed to sneak one past Axar and soon after dismissed KL Rahul, capping off a respectable outing for himself in an otherwise ordinary English bowling effort. Gill, looking set for a century, fell for 87 while trying to accelerate, allowing a few nerves to creep in. Though not a major concern, India would have preferred a smoother finish without that late stumble. Nevertheless, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja ensured there were no further hiccups, guiding India home with a composed finish.
Sensing the need for a breakthrough, Jos Buttler turned to his spinners, and Jacob Bethell delivered, dismissing Iyer soon after he reached his half-century. However, Axar Patel, promoted up the order, seamlessly adapted to his role and stitched together a composed partnership with vice-captain Shubman Gill. The duo rotated the strike smartly, capitalizing on loose deliveries to keep the scoreboard ticking and maintain complete control over the chase.
Defending a modest total, England came out firing, with Jofra Archer asking plenty of tough questions with the new ball and equally supported by Saqib Mahmood. These probing spells at the top gave England the perfect start, which saw the backs of both Indian openers in the space of six balls for just 19 runs, building early pressure. But in walked Shreyas Iyer, who wasted no time in counter-attacking. His aggressive stroke play not only eased the nerves in the Indian camp but also swung the momentum back in their favour, as his quickfire knock propelled India to 71/2 by the end of the first Powerplay.
Not as clinical as India would have hoped for towards the end, but they get the job done with relative ease. They continue their dominance over England following a strong T20I series win and now take a 1-0 lead in the ODIs with a four-wicket victory, sealing the chase with more than 11 overs to spare.

DROPPED, FOUR! Angling away, on a good length, on off, Ravindra Jadeja has a poke at the away-going delivery. Gets a faint outside edge that goes behind towards the keeper. Phil Salt gets his gloves together around his left ankle. But fails to get low enough and the ball clips him on the fingertips and races away for a boundary. Handshakes and smiles all around in the Indian camp as they go 1-0 up in the series!

FOUR! Not quite from the middle of the bat but Jadeja will take it! Off-cutter from Mahmood, fuller and outside off, Ravindra Jadeja skips down the track to go back over the bowler's head.
