Highlights
- Bumrah ultimately finished with the figures of 6/19.
- Buttler was the highest scorer for England, notching up 30 off 32 deliveries.
- Chasing 111, Rohit and Dhawan started cautiously.
Powered by Jasprit Bumrah's memorable performance, the men in blue made short work of Buttler-led England by defeating them by ten wickets in the first ODI to win the early bragging rights in the three-match ODI series.
India won the toss and Rohit Sharma opted to bowl first. On a pitch that had a tinge of green, Jasprit Bumrah bowled devastatingly well to break the back of England's batting lineup by dismissing Roy, Root, Bairstow, and Livingstone.
No England batter except Jos Buttler showed any signs of resistance. But the skipper too was cleaned up by Mohammed Shami, who took two more wickets to help India bowl England out for just 110.
Buttler was the highest scorer for England, notching up 30 off 32 deliveries. Bumrah ultimately finished with the figures of 6/19, and Shami proved to be an able partner, finishing with 3/31 after ten overs.
Chasing 111, Rohit and Dhawan started cautiously before the skipper stepped on the gas and started playing his shots. It was after a long time that Rohit successfully played numerous pull shots.
Dhawan, on the other hand, played anchor and took his time. He was playing an international game after a long time, looked rusty, but hung in there to help take his side over the line. Rohit finished with 76 off 58 deliveries and Dhawan played a perfect second-fiddle, scoring 31 off 54 deliveries to take India home.
Bumrah, obviously, was the man of the match and broke numerous records. Here is the list of records Bumrah shattered and created following a performance of a lifetime.
