Netizens react as clinical India whitewash England in the ODI series

India wrapped up the ODI series in emphatic fashion, securing a commanding 142-run victory over England in the third and final ODI of the England tour of India 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium. The hosts showcased a complete performance, with a scintillating century from Shubman Gill and an all-round bowling effort sealing the series whitewash.

India sets a mammoth target

After England won the toss and opted to bowl first, India made the most of the conditions with a solid batting display, posting a formidable 356 in 50 overs. Despite an early setback with Rohit Sharma departing for just 1 run, Shubman Gill led the charge with a brilliant 112 off 102 balls, smashing 14 boundaries and three sixes.

Virat Kohli provided solid support with a steady 52 off 55 balls, while Shreyas Iyer accelerated the scoring rate with a fluent 78 off 64 deliveries. KL Rahul contributed a quickfire 40 off 29 balls, while Hardik Pandya (17 off 9) and the lower order chipped in to push India past the 350-run mark. Adil Rashid was the pick of England’s bowlers, claiming four wickets for 64 runs in his 10-over spell.

England falters in the run-chase

Chasing a daunting target of 357, England’s innings never gained the required momentum. Philip Salt (23 off 21) and Ben Duckett (34 off 22) gave England a decent start, but wickets fell at regular intervals. Tom Banton fought hard with 38 off 41 balls, but the middle-order collapse left England reeling.

Joe Root (24 off 29) and Harry Brook (19 off 26) failed to capitalize on their starts, and captain Jos Buttler managed only 6 runs before being dismissed. A late flourish from Gus Atkinson, who smashed 38 off just 19 deliveries, was not enough to save England, as they were bowled out for 214 in 34.2 overs.

India’s bowlers executed their plans perfectly, dismantling the English batting lineup with precision. Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana led the charge, both claiming two wickets each, while Axar Patel and Hardik Pandya also bagged two wickets apiece. Kuldeep Yadav and Washington Sundar chipped in with a wicket each, ensuring England never recovered from their batting collapse.
