India vs England highlights, 3rd ODI: Shubman Gill stars as India beat England by 142 runs to complete 3-0 series sweep

Very very pleasing (with the way the series went). We knew there will be challenges that we could face. I mean there is nothing I could have done about that (the ball that got rid of him today). Credit to the bowler and the bowler is there to get you out and you are there as a batter to challenge that. Just nicked the ball, second ball I was facing and couldn't have done anything about that. I don't see there was anything wrong we did this series. Obviously there are certain things we are looking at (to improve) and I am not going to stand here and explain those. It is our job as well to keep some consistency within the squad and the communication is clear. Obviously any champion team wants to get better every game and move forward from there. Very happy with the score (at the break). There is a bit of freedom in the squad to go out there and play the way you want. The World Cup was a perfect example of that and we want to continue to do that. There will be times it will not fall in place but that's okay.

Rohit Sharma | India captain

It went in similar fashion to the whole tour (talking about the batting). We were outplayed by a fantastic team. Our approach (with bat) is a right one, just that we haven't executed well. They put a great score on the board. Shubman played a great innings. We got off to a great start again but familiar story again for us. Need to find a way to bat longer. We were up against a really good side that keeps challenging.

Jos Buttler | England captain

In the first game, I wanted to take the momentum after we lost two consecutive wickets, I tried to play the ball on its merit. I just back my instincts and tried to deliver. In the second game, I thought I would finish the game. And today, Shubman and Virat laid a great platform and that helped me to excel. I wish I could have got a hundred.

The break I got in between where I was working with the domestic team and I also got opportunity to work on my technique as well and especially the drop-in shots which got me singles, it’s not about cuts and pulls all the time, the drop-in shots matter and that’s what’s more satisfying for me. The dressing room is electrifying with lots of energy and I feel each and every individual is in great form in the team. I think it’s great to win this series and carry the momentum into the Champions Trophy.

You could see in the three games how every individual stepped up for the team. Getting those crucial runs and wickets at the right time was important. We have worked a lot on that and as a unit, we are trying to deliver and create that breakthrough that the team needs in imperative time. I’m keeping my fingers crossed, hopefully I will get the award for the best fielder of the series (chuckles).

Salt vs Arshdeep this tour

Five inngs

28 balls

24 runs

Three dismissals

All three wickets have come off short balls.

Arshdeep Singh claims another wicket with his clever variation in pace! His second scalp within the powerplay sends both openers back to the pavilion. He delivers a short-of-length ball outside off stump, reducing the pace significantly. Phil Salt spots an opportunity and shifts his weight backwards, attempting an upper cut. However, the reduced pace prevents him from achieving the desired height, resulting in a simple catch to Axar Patel at backward point, who takes a few steps back for a comfortable chest-high catch.

SIX! Tom Banton sends Washington Sundar over backward point this time. What a shot from the England batter. Brilliant switch hit from him.

Ben Duckett and Philip Salt are in the middle. Arshdeep Singh will open the attack for India. England need 357 to win the match and avoid a cleansweep.

Here we go ...!!!

Shubman Gill led India’s charge with a fluent 112, while Virat Kohli (52) and Shreyas Iyer (78) capitalized on ideal batting conditions in their final outing before the Champions Trophy, helping India post a formidable 356 all out in the third and final ODI against England on Wednesday.

Gill anchored the innings with his seventh ODI century—112 off 104 balls, studded with 14 fours and three sixes—pushing his ODI average past 60. The vice-captain stitched together two vital century partnerships, 116 runs with Kohli and 104 with Iyer, to lay a strong foundation. Notably, Gill became the first batter to score a century in all three international formats at the Narendra Modi Stadium, where he has also registered an IPL hundred.

Playing with authority against both pace and spin, Gill showcased exquisite footwork and executed some elegant strokes down the ground before being cleaned up by Adil Rashid (4/64).

Kohli, meanwhile, took his time to find rhythm before growing in confidence. He opened his boundary count with a trademark cover drive off Mark Wood, followed by a controlled pull shot and a crisp cut against Saqib Mahmood. His fluent, run-a-ball 73rd ODI half-century was, however, not without challenges, particularly against Rashid.

On 38, Kohli survived a close leg-before appeal, with replays confirming the ball had pitched just outside the leg stump. But Rashid eventually had the last laugh, dismissing Kohli for the fifth time in ODIs, as a loopy delivery turned away, took the edge, and landed safely in the wicketkeeper’s gloves—just after Kohli had raised his bat for fifty. Kohli fell 37 runs short of becoming only the third batter to reach 14,000 ODI runs, a milestone he is expected to achieve during the Champions Trophy.

Earlier, captain Rohit Sharma (1) failed to make an impact, nicking an angled delivery from Wood to wicketkeeper Phil Salt. Iyer, who looked well on course for a hundred, gifted his wicket away by chasing a delivery down the leg side from Rashid, edging it behind.

Hardik Pandya (17) struck a couple of sixes before falling to Rashid, while KL Rahul provided late impetus with a brisk 40 off 29 balls.

Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer power India to 356 against England

WICKET! Mark Wood dismisses Washington Sundar for 14 runs. Brook takes an easy catch at long-on. India are 9 down now. India are now 350 plus.

WICKET! Gus Atkinson removes Harshit Rana for 13 runs. A delivery pitched short of a length outside off-stump, and Harshit Rana attempts to create room by stepping away. He swings hard but gets a thick bottom edge, sending the ball towards extra cover. Buttler moves backwards a few paces and completes a comfortable catch.

INDIA 353/8 in 49 overs vs ENGLAND

SIX! What a shot from Harshit Rana. He picks the length and dispatches the ball over Gus Atkinson's head. Classy shot from the tailender.

INDIA 352/7 in 48.4 overs vs ENGLAND

REVIEW and OUT! A loud LBW appeal from Saqib Mahmood against KL Rahul. Umpire raises his finger. But Rahul is not sure. He asks for a review. No bat involved. Impact in line. Wickets hitting. It's OUT. Big wicket at the right time for England.

INDIA 333/7 in 46.4 overs vs ENGLAND

Much-needed hit for India. KL Rahul clears his front leg and whacks the ball over Joe Root's head for a biggie. That's a stupendous shot.

INDIA 322/6 in 45.2 overs vs ENGLAND

5 overs to go!

India are 314/6. KL Rahul and Washington Sundar are in the middle. India need runs at the moment. England have slowed India down at the moment with quick wickets.

INDIA 307/6 in 43.5 overs vs ENGLAND

WICKET! Adil Rashid gets rid of Shreyas Iyer for 78 runs. Iyer misses out on a well-deserved century. Shreyas Iyer will be mighty disappointed with this. Down the leg from Rashid. Iyer looks to glance, gets a thin edge. and Phil Salt makes no mistake and takes an easy grab.

INDIA 255/4 in 38.2 overs vs ENGLAND

FOUR! Only Shreyas Iyer can play such shot. Liam Livingstone bowls this down the leg. Shreyas Iyer moves inside the line and pulls this towards fine leg fence. Once bounce a boundary.

Shreyas Iyer is looking solid in the middle. He is batting on 73 right now. Another century on the cards? Iyer has been phenomenal in the series so far.

Most runs after first 50 innings in ODIs

2587 Shubman Gill

2486 Hashim Amla

2386 Imam-ul-Haq

2262 Fakhar Zaman

2247 Shai Hope

Shubman Gill continued his sublime form in the ODI series against England, becoming the first Indian batter to score a century in his 50th ODI. He achieved this milestone during the third and final match of the series in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.

This marked Gill's seventh century in ODIs, making him the fastest batter to reach the landmark in just 50 innings.

His 95-ball hundred carried even more significance as he became only the fifth batter to score a century at the same venue across all three formats. Gill now has centuries in Tests, T20Is, and ODIs at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

Faf du Plessis (Wanderers), David Warner (Adelaide Oval), Babar Azam (National Stadium) and Quinton de Kock (Supersport Park) are the other batters to have scored centuries at a venue in all three formats.
