Sun Feb 09 18:35:31 UTC 2025: **India Clinches ODI Series Victory Over England with Thrilling Chase**
**Ahmedabad, India –** India secured a resounding 4-wicket victory over England in the second One Day International (ODI) in Ahmedabad, winning the three-match series 2-0. Rohit Sharma’s explosive century (119 runs off 90 balls, including 12 fours and 7 sixes) laid the foundation for India’s successful chase of 305 runs.
England, batting first, posted a competitive 304 thanks to strong contributions from Ben Duckett (65), Joe Root (69), and Harry Brook (31). However, their middle and lower order failed to capitalize, with Ravi Jadeja (3/35) leading the Indian bowling attack.
India’s chase began explosively with Sharma’s innings, but a mid-order wobble saw the loss of key batsmen including Virat Kohli (5) and Shreyas Iyer (44). However, Axar Patel (41*) and Ravindra Jadeja (11*) steered India home in 44.3 overs, with Jadeja hitting the winning runs. The pair showcased calm composure under pressure, ensuring India’s comfortable victory. Despite brief moments of English resistance, India’s powerful batting line-up ultimately proved too strong, securing a convincing series win.
