India Vs England 3rd ODI Highlights
In the final One Day International (ODI) of England’s 2025 tour of India, taking place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, India secured a commanding victory by 142 runs, thereby achieving a clean sweep in the series. The match commenced promptly at 1:30 PM local time and was characterized by outstanding batting displays from the Indian team, coupled with a formidable bowling performance that proved too much for England.
India won the toss and opted to bat first under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy. Unfortunately, Sharma fell early to Phil Salt off Mark Wood’s delivery after scoring merely one run. However, this initial setback was rapidly overshadowed by an exceptional innings from Shubman Gill, who played magnificently to score 112 runs off 102 balls, including 14 fours and three sixes. His partnership anchored India’s innings well even after Virat Kohli contributed a measured 52 runs from 55 balls before being dismissed by Adil Rashid. The English leg-spinner emerged as their standout bowler with remarkable figures of four wickets for 64 runs.
Shreyas Iyer then seized control of the innings by unleashing an aggressive knock of 78 runs off just 64 deliveries. He ensured that India maintained momentum throughout their batting innings, supported significantly by KL Rahul’s brisk contribution of 40 runs from just 29 balls among others. India finished their innings at an impressive total of 356 all out within their allotted fifty overs, with extras accounting for another thirteen runs. This score represented India’s highest ODI total against England at the Narendra Modi Stadium and showcased both depth and aggression in their batting lineup.
The run chase for England promised challenges given the steep target ahead. Openers Philip Salt and Ben Duckett made a strong start, amassing sixty runs for the first wicket in slightly more than six overs. Duckett demonstrated particular aggressiveness during his stint on the crease until he was dismissed by Arshdeep Singh after scoring thirty-four runs off twenty-two balls; Singh also stood out as India’s most economical bowler with personals stats reading two wickets for thirty-three runs conceded.
Following a flurry of early fireworks, England’s batting order struggled to keep the momentum going. Tom Banton scored 38 runs off 41 balls before being caught by KL Rahul off Kuldeep Yadav’s bowling, while Joe Root was dismissed for 24 after being bowled by Axar Patel. The middle and lower order lacked cohesion, with Jos Buttler contributing only 6 runs before falling to Harshit Rana, who made significant contributions in breaking down England’s batting lineup.
England ultimately collapsed at a modest total of 214 all out within just 34.2 overs. Gus Atkinson managed to entertain the crowd with a swift innings of 38 runs off merely 19 deliveries, which included six fours and one six. The Indian bowlers showcased relentless pressure; spinners Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav were particularly effective, supported well by pacers Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana, preventing any easing into rhythm from the English batsmen.
This match highlighted not only the score but also India’s tactical gameplay as they adeptly adapted to conditions at Narendra Modi Stadium. The pitch initially favored fast bowlers and subsequently offered assistance to spinners later on. India’s clean sweep in this series emphasized their supremacy both with bat and ball, creating an optimistic outlook ahead of upcoming competitions.
The game featured numerous remarkable performances—Gill achieved his seventh ODI century, Iyer displayed aggression with an impressive fifty, while the disciplined bowling efforts from India assured that England never gained momentum in their chase. This victory secured a comprehensive 3-0 series win for India and showcased the considerable depth and versatility inherent in their cricketing skill set.
