What's going on with England ODI Series Win

Joe Root scored 249 runs across three innings to guide England to a 2-1 ODI series victory against India, earning Player of the Series.

Root scored 76, 99, and 74, each inning anchoring England's recovery or chase, including 76 when England were 107/6.

Root's consistent performances have continued at age 36 despite the retirement of contemporaries like Alastair Cook, Eoin Morgan, and Ben Stokes.

Former England spinner Monty Panesar commented on the secret behind Root's longevity.

England defeated India by four wickets in the second ODI to level the series 1-1.

Joe Root scored an unbeaten 99 to anchor England's chase of 234.

India captain Shubman Gill described his team's batting as 'quite disappointing'.

India's squad lacks a specialised extra batsman, relying on ineffectual all-rounders like Shivam Dube and Washington Sundar.

Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, and Washington Sundar lack technique for overseas conditions, contributing to India's batting collapse.

In the 2nd ODI at Sophia Gardens, India fell from 178/4 to 233 all out, as Sundar, Patel, and Dube failed against short-pitched bowling.

Dube has played only 6 ODIs since his debut in December 2019 and is ineffective with both bat and ball in these conditions.

Blind faith in all-rounders is proving costly for Shubman Gill's team, as they struggle to score competitive totals abroad.

India captain Shubman Gill blamed the middle-order collapse for the 2nd ODI defeat against England.

England chased down a modest target of 234 with four wickets in hand in Cardiff.

The defeat leveled the three-match series 1-1.

India set a total of 234, which England successfully chased.

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are among three Indians in the top 4 of ICC ODI rankings.

New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell holds the No.1 position with 802 rating points.

Shubman Gill is one point behind Mitchell after scoring 188 runs in the series against New Zealand.
