Then, Shubman Gill (112 off 102) and Virat Kohli (52 off 55) had a stand of 116, which had begun cautiously but was able to pick up speed just in time.
At the close of what will likely be a taxing tour for the visitors, India thoroughly deflated England, winning just one game out of eight. India finished a 3-0 series sweep at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, giving them the momentum they needed ahead of the Champions Trophy.
India was put in this time, but England ultimately won the toss once more. And it nearly succeeded because Rohit Sharma was out of the game after only the second over.
In order to advance India’s innings, Shreyas Iyer (78 off 64) and Shubman Gill formed another century stand.
The lower order of India had to struggle to 356 after Adil Rashid (4 for 64) dominated the middle overs.
Ben Duckett led the way as usual as England got off to a solid start on the powerplay, but as has been the case throughout the series, his dismissal created room for India to rally. Jos Buttler, Tom Banton, and Phil Salt all got off to a start, but they were unable to withstand the onslaught from India’s spinners in the middle overs, falling to a 142-run defeat.
