Wed Feb 12 11:13:11 UTC 2025: **India Dominates England in Third ODI, Gill Scores Century**

Ahmedabad, India – Shubman Gill’s magnificent century (112) and half-centuries from Virat Kohli (52) and Shreyas Iyer (78) powered India to a commanding position in the third and final ODI against England at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Wednesday. Winning the toss, England elected to bowl first.

India, despite losing Rohit Sharma early, recovered strongly thanks to a 116-run partnership between Kohli and Gill. Gill’s impressive knock, his seventh ODI hundred in only his 50th match, was the highlight of the innings. Iyer also contributed significantly, reaching his second fifty in as many matches. The Indian middle order showcased its strength ahead of the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Hardik Pandya’s explosive cameo, featuring back-to-back sixes before his dismissal, further boosted India’s total.

Adil Rashid was England’s most successful bowler, claiming the wickets of Kohli and Gill, but India’s strong batting performance proved too much to overcome. The team reached a formidable total of 289/5 at the end of their innings. England made one change to their lineup, bringing in Tom Banton for Jamie Smith, while India made three changes, including the inclusion of Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, and Washington Sundar.

This match marks the final encounter for both teams before the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The result will be decisive in the upcoming tournament and will provide both teams with valuable match practice. The game is being broadcast live on Star Sports and streamed on Disney+ Hotstar.
