India Vs England 1st ODI Highlights 2021

Two players who made their ODI debut won India the first match. All the matches of the three-match one-day series are to be played in Pune. On Tuesday night, Team India beat England by 66 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the series. 

The second match will be held on Friday, March 26. Shikhar Dhawan, who scored 98 runs, may have been chosen Man of the Match, but the whole world is currently discussing only Krunal Pandya and the famous Krishna.

Krishna and Krunal created history in their debut match

Under pressure, Shikhar Dhawan's 98 runs and Krunal's aggressive half-century helped India score 317 for five after losing the toss due to poor form. Krunal scored an unbeaten 58 off 31 balls, which is the fastest half-century of any batsman on his debut in international cricket. England had a very good start in reply, but after the first wicket fell, the team could not recover and was dismissed for 251 runs in 42.1 overs. England's score was 135 runs without any loss in the 15th over, but Krishna and Shardul Thakur changed the picture of the match. Thakur took three wickets for 37 runs. Krishna took four wickets for 54 runs which is the best performance by an Indian bowler on his debut in international cricket.

Johnny Bairstow smashes 94 runs

For England, Johnny Bairstow scored 94 runs in 55 balls and Jason Roy made a good start by adding 46 runs in 35 balls. Krishna conceded 37 runs in the first three overs, but later made a great comeback, breaking the back of England's innings. Earlier, Dhawan and Virat Kohli shared 105 runs for the second wicket for India. After this, Krunal and KL Rahul added 112 runs in 57 balls with an unbeaten partnership. Kohli scored 56 off 60 balls while Rahul scored an unbeaten 62 off 43 balls. Krunal remained unbeaten after scoring 58 runs in 31 balls. Dhawan hit 11 fours and two sixes in his 106-ball innings while Krunal hit seven fours and two sixes.

Injured Iyer is also doubtful to play in IPL

Rahul, who struggled to regain the rhythm in the T20 series, also played openly. On being sent to bat first, Rohit Sharma (28 off 42 balls) and Dhawan added 64 runs for the first wicket. New batsman Kohli completed his 61st ODI fifty in 50 balls. He returned with a catch from Mark Wood in the deep. At the same time, Dhawan was caught by Stokes at midwicket at the hands of Eoin Morgan. Hardik Pandya (one) also became a victim of Stokes. In the last over, Krunal and Rahul batted aggressively to take India beyond 300. During the match, Sam Billings succumbed to his shoulder in an attempt to save a four. At the same time, Captain Morgan suffered a finger injury. Both batted, but Shreyas Iyer's shoulder fractured during fielding and his playing in the IPL has become questionable.
