That’s it from us tonight as well. India displaying one of their best ODI efforts in the recent past. They go 1-0 up in the 3-match series. A debut to remember for Prasidh Krishna and Krunal Pandya for both. An emotional day for Krunal, who dedicated his knock to his late father. Many moments to remember from the first ODI. India look very strong and England will look to return strong in the second game. 

See you on 26th March at 1.30 pm. 

Goodbye and good night.

Shikhar Dhawan is the Man of the Match for his 98!

Dhawan: I’m very happy with my performance. It was a great comeback from us, and I really enjoyed it. I was putting all my effort in the process, and doing good gym sessions. Eventually, my smart work paid off. We knew the ball was swinging and seaming, we knew we had to stay on the wicket, play close to the body and not rush things. I’m not a person who gets too sad or too happy. I wasn’t in a rush to get to my hundred. (On missing out on his ton) There’s always a next time. When I wasn’t playing, I was like “how can I give to the team”. So I was being a good 12th man, serving water and at the same time i was quite positive in the head.

Virat Kohli, India captain:

This is one of our sweetest victories in the recent past for how we made a comeback with the ball. Starting with Prasidh, going for runs and then to make a comeback was an amazing effort. Krunal as well. 35 in the first three and to finish with only under 60 from 10 overs is great effort. Everyone else as well stepped up. As I have mentioned in the past as well, we promote players you keep backing players. Special mention to Shikhar as well, he has not got game time but he showed his skills today. KL as well did a good job. It is a healthy competition. For every slot we have 2 or 3 people available which is a great sign for Indian cricket. We want to go on a right path and we have a big pool of players to choose from. Special mention to Shikhar when he was not playing. He has been outstanding and has worked hard on the game. The opening partnership was crucial. Krunal and KL were outstanding at the back end of the innings. If Shikhar and I were there till 49th over, we could have ended up with 350 on the board.

Eoin Morgan, England captain: I thought the bowlers were outstanding. I thought the wicket was really good as well. The two openers were outstanding. We failed to continue on that. When we have bad days with the bat, it can look worse than what it is. India deserved to win. When you look at our top seven, all of them have scored (in the past). White-ball cricket, as a general rule, is always on the upward slant. With one eye on the World Cup, we want to continue to try and push the envelope. For us, losing like that is much better than losing by 10-20 runs playing in a different way. We need to push as hard as we can, and try to improve. It’s important for us to dictate the way we play. I thought the bowlers did an outstanding job. The line and length did prove effective on this wicket. We were happy chasing 318. There is a little bit of dew here, but we were not in a position to take advantage of that. (One thing he could change) Just the execution. The method with which we’re trying to play is the right one.

Thakur comes back on and delivers for the hosts. He has dismissed Bairstow on just the first ball of the over. Heartbreak for England and Bairstow as he is walking back six short of a hundred. Morgan collects two off the last ball, otherwise it would have been a maiden-wicket.

India vs England Live Score, Live Cricket Score, 1st ODI at Pune Live Updates: India win by 66 runs! Krishna takes four wickets on ODI debut as he completes the formality by picking up the last wicket. Tom Curran has been caught square on the off side for 11. India go 1-0 up in the series.

Preview: England’s tour of India reaches its final leg as Eoin Morgan’s men prepare themselves for the 50-over contests following the conclusion of the Twenty20 Internationals, with the first ODI taking place on Tuesday.

The two sides, having already played four Tests and five T20Is, will lock horns in three One-Day Internationals — taking place on 23, 26 and 28 March respectively, with all the games in Pune — before the Indian Premier League (IPL) gets underway on 9 April. Having lost the Test series convincingly by a 3-1 margin, and then going on to lose the T20I rubber after gaining a 2-1 series lead at one point, the focus for the visitors will be on laying their hands on at least one trophy before their players break for the IPL, or head back home for the County Championship. England, after all, are the 50-over World Champions and a very much the formidable force in the format. India, on the other hand, will hope to use the momentum gained from their impressive turnaround in the T20Is to win them the ODI contests. Virat Kohli’s men managed to successfully defend totals in the last two games of the T20Is — both of which were must-win affairs — with the last match of the series seeing the hosts dominate on all departments to register a 36-run win. [caption id=“attachment_9452271” align=“alignnone” width=“640”] ![The trophy that will be handed to the winners of the three-match ODI series between India and England. Sportzpics](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/India-England-ODI-series-trophy-Sportzpics-640.jpg) The trophy that will be handed to the winners of the three-match ODI series between India and England. Sportzpics[/caption] The series will be all the more important for the ageing Shikhar Dhawan, who has been pushed out of the opener’s slot in T20Is now in addition to Tests, but has been picked as the first-choice opener alongside vice-captain Rohit Sharma. For Dhawan, who is facing massive competition from a host of others including KL Rahul, this series will perhaps be one of the last set of chances that he gets if he is to retain his place in the one-day side till the 2023 ICC ODI World Cup. Among the key changes in personnel in the two teams is Jofra Archer missing out for the visitors. The searing pacer’s elbow issue worsened during the T20I contests, and not only will he be sitting out of the ODI series, but will also likely to miss the early part of IPL 2021. Squads: India: Virat Kohli (Captain), Rohit Sharma (vice-captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), KL Rahul (wicket-keeper), Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Krunal Pandya, Washington Sundar, T Natarajan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Shardul Thakur. England: Eoin Morgan (Captain), Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Sam Billings, Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Tom Curran, Liam Livingstone, Matt Parkinson, Adil Rashid, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, Reece Topley, Mark Wood. Covers: Jake Ball, Chris Jordan, Dawid Malan.
