Thu Feb 06 14:05:55 UTC 2025: ## India Bowl England Out for 248 in Nagpur ODI Debut
**Nagpur, India** – India launched their ODI series against England with a commanding victory in the first match in Nagpur. A stunning debut performance from Harshit Rana (3/53) and a masterful spell from Ravindra Jadeja (3/26) spearheaded India’s bowling attack, bundling out England for 248 in 47.4 overs.
England, electing to bat first, enjoyed a promising start with a 71-run opening partnership. However, the run-out of Phil Salt (43) triggered a collapse. While Jos Buttler (51) and Jacob Bethell (51) offered some resistance, reaching fifties, the Indian bowlers remained dominant throughout. Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, and Axar Patel each claimed a wicket to support the impressive debutant and veteran Jadeja.
In the absence of Virat Kohli, who was ruled out due to a sore right knee, India’s batting lineup will now look to chase down the target and take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Shubman Gill reached a half-century in India’s innings. The match continues.
