Ahmedabad, India – India completed a comprehensive 3-0 whitewash over England in the ODI series, marking their first such victory over England in 14 years. The final match in Ahmedabad saw India post a massive 356/10, fueled by Shubman Gill’s century (112) and half-centuries from Virat Kohli (52) and Shreyas Iyer (78). KL Rahul also contributed a valuable 40.
England’s chase never truly got going despite promising starts from several batsmen. Phil Salt (23), Ben Duckett (34), Tom Banton (38), Joe Root (24), and Gus Atkinson (38) all showed glimpses of form, but India’s bowlers consistently took wickets to restrict England to 214, a crushing 142-run defeat. Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana each claimed two wickets, while Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, and Kuldeep Yadav each took one.
This victory follows England’s T20 series win, highlighting the fluctuating fortunes of both teams across the different formats. The ODI series win represents India’s fourth whitewash over England in the format.
