Team India completed an ODI series win against England with the victory in the third and the series-deciding match which was played at Old Trafford. Though there were some hiccups, the Indian team overcame the challenges and went on to receive the trophy after defeating the English team by 5 wickets. However, the fun didn’t end there, there was an interesting incident after the match as Virat Kohli & Rishabh Pant gifted a champagne bottle to Ravi Shastri.
The Indian skipper Rohit Sharma chose to bowl first and the bowlers once again proved their captain right as they picked up three crucial wickets in the first powerplay. The duo of Moeen Ali and Jos Buttler looked dangerous for a while but Ravindra Jadeja got rid of Ali in his very first over. England kept losing wickets at regular intervals from there onwards and could only reach a sub-par total of 259, which proved to be quite easy in the end for the Indian team.
