Thu Feb 13 00:44:41 UTC 2025: ## India Sweeps England in ODI Series with Dominant Win

**Ahmedabad, India** – India completed a resounding 3-0 series sweep against England with a 142-run victory in the third One Day International (ODI) in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. Shubman Gill’s masterful century (112 runs off 102 balls) anchored India’s impressive 356-run total, showcasing a blend of traditional batting technique and aggressive stroke play.

Gill’s innings, which included 14 fours and 3 sixes, was a testament to his adaptability. He effectively countered England’s swing bowling early on, patiently building a crucial 121-run partnership with Virat Kohli (50 runs). Kohli himself played a valuable knock before falling to Rashid Khan.

Shreyas Iyer provided further impetus with a quickfire 78, contributing significantly to India’s strong finish. While Rashid Khan proved a consistent threat, claiming the wickets of Gill and Iyer, India’s lower middle order also provided crucial runs, pushing the total beyond 350.

England’s chase started promisingly with Ben Duckett’s explosive 22-ball cameo (despite a groin injury), but their middle order crumbled under pressure, failing to build on the initial momentum. Key wickets from Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, and Kuldeep Yadav derailed their chase. While Gus Atkinson offered late resistance with a 38-run innings, it was not enough to prevent a comprehensive defeat. England were eventually bowled out for 214.

The match highlighted India’s batting strength and their ability to adapt their approach, successfully combining traditional techniques with aggressive power hitting. The series win solidifies India’s dominance in the ODI format.
