India v England: first men’s cricket one-day international 

India faced an assignment to reach 249 runs at Nagpur during their opening One Day International (ODI) match against England. The England batting order started aggressively as Phil Salt teamed up with Ben Duckett to establish a strong early momentum. The match turned against England after Phil Salt got run out and Yashasvi Jaiswal made a sensational catch to dismiss Ben Duckett. The Indian bowling attack demonstrated excellent control through Ravindra Jadeja and fresh-faced Harshit Rana who both achieved three wickets.

The opening batting pair of Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal (Indian cricket debut) started their innings against Jofra Archer under deteriorating light conditions. To maintain competitiveness England required early wickets because India needed to score 249 runs to win the game. The upcoming contest exhibited promising potential since both teams would implement their core abilities.
