India’s four-wicket victory in Nagpur on Thursday featured a number of positive aspects, but Rohit Sharma’s comeback to ODI cricket ended in disappointment. Following brilliant ball-handling by Ravindra Jadeja for the home team, Shubman Gill spearheaded India’s victorious chase of 249.
In the opening game of a three-match ODI series against England on Thursday, February 6, India checked many boxes, but captain Rohit Sharma’s eagerly awaited return to one-day internationals ended in disappointment. India had a lot to gain at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur, with a well-paced 87 from Shubman Gill, a stroke-filled 59 from Shreyas Iyer, and an all-around bowling effort headed by debutant Harshit Rana and Ravindra Jadeja.
