Ahmedabad, India – England’s leg-spinner Adil Rashid orchestrated a stunning bowling spell, dismissing key Indian batsmen Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, and Shreyas Iyer, in the third ODI against India at the Narendra Modi Stadium. However, his most spectacular dismissal was that of Hardik Pandya.
Pandya, initially looking in ominous form, smashed two consecutive sixes. But Rashid, known for his variations and guile, responded with a masterful delivery in the 41st over, clean bowling Pandya for 17 runs off just 9 balls. The dismissal, which followed two powerful sixes, quickly went viral on social media.
Rashid’s spell showcased his dominance over India’s top order. His victims included Gill, Kohli, and Iyer, underlining his crucial role in restricting India, despite their ultimately reaching 356/10 in their 50 overs. Gill scored 112, Kohli 52, and Iyer 78, with Rahul contributing 40 runs. Despite India’s substantial total, England faced a challenging chase thanks to Rashid’s impressive spell. India’s bowlers then put on an impressive display, adding further pressure to England’s already difficult task.
