Ahmedabad: India clean sweep the ODi series against Englang. Shubman Gill starred with a sublime century as India defeated England by 142 runs in the third ODI to complete a series sweep over the Three Lions at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. It comes as a big boost for the Rohit Sharma-led side right ahead of the Champions Trophy that kicks off February 19. Coming back to the third ODI, Gill’s hundred propelled India to 356 all-out in 50 overs after England captain Jos Buttler won the toss and opted to bowl first.
Gill scored 112 off 102 balls with the help of 14 fours and 3 sixes. Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer (78), Virat Kohli (52) and KL Rahul (40) also played crucial knocks. For England, Adil Rashid stood out with figures of 4 for 64. Mark Wood was also impressive with 2 for 45, but rest of the visiting bowlers failed to impress. England started strongly in the chase but once the opening partnership was broken, they failed to bounce back by losing wickets at regular intervals. Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel picked two wickets apiece.
