India survived a Sam Curran scare on Sunday night at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium with the all-rounder pulling off an inspirational unbeaten 95 to power England to a near-impossible recovery.
Bhuvneshwar, who has had a lot of injury issues for the past two years and being out of the national team, was the team's second-highest wicket-taker in the three-match ODI series with six scalps.
Jonny Bairstow was declared man of the series and Sam Curran was the man of the match.
With 14 to win from the last over, England managed to score just six as India wrapped up the ODI series with a dramatic victory in Pune.
For India, near domination of England in all three formats at home comes straight after humbling Australia in their own backyard earlier this year during a gruelling tour.
After being put to bat first, the Indian batting unit, led by stroke-filled fifties from Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya, managed to post 329 on the board.
The series is level at 1-1 and the winner in the third ODI will clinch the three-match series.
Bhuvneshwar, who has returned from multiple injury setbacks, bowled opener Jason Roy with an in-swinger on the last delivery of the over.
Moeen joined Rashid to become the only spinners to have dismissed Kohli the most number of times in international cricket - nine times.
Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan achieved the record during the final ODI against England on Sunday.

The former Indian opener criticised Virat Kohli and Co. for not using Hardik Pandya at all in the second ODI when Indian bowlers went for plenty.
In terms of batting, a total of 337 is certainly not bad by any standards but perhaps India can now look to have strategic shift in terms innings building process.
Stokes was promoted up the order in the first two ODIs and he roared back to form in the second outing smashing 99 with 10 sixes.
In the first two ODIs, India adopted a similar approach as after a slow start they exploded in the back end to score 112 and 126 runs in the last 10 overs respectively.
Jonny Bairstow, who hammered his 11th ODI century, to lead his team to a remarkable chase of 337 runs in the second One-day International on Friday acknowledged India skipper Virat Kohli for praising his batting.
Bairstow followed up 94 from 66 balls in the first match with 124 from 112 as England plundered 20 sixes to make the stiff chase a complete mismatch.
In both ODIs, Prasidh got wickets in his second spell with the semi-new ball (as two new balls are used) and got a bit of stick from England batsmen during his opening overs.
Gavaskar had said that Bairstow looked "uninterested" after a soft dismissal off Ravichandran Ashwin in the second innings of the second Test in Chennai.
