India has given a hard time to England in The Oval ODI on Tuesday. The hosts were bundled out for 110, with Jasprit Bumrah bagging a six-for.
Team India rightfully carried its momentum from the recently-concluded three-match Twenty20 International (T20I) against England. In the opening ODI against the same side at The Oval in London on Tuesday, the visitors came up with a dynamic performance with the ball, rattling the hosts out for 110, which happened to be their lowest ODI total against the former. Pacer Jasprit Bumrah was the star of the Indian bowling attack, finishing with impressive figures of 6/19, while English wicketkeeper-batter cum skipper Jos Buttler (30) was the top scorer. At the same time, social media was all delighted by it.
Bumrah and co. have made sure that Kohli doesn’t feel too bad about missing this game…

It turned out to be the perfect decision, as England began on a horror note, losing half of its side for just 26 by the eighth over of the powerplay, with Bumrah bagging four of them.

Take a bow Jasprit Bumrah, you not only bowled out the world champions but also those English experts who doubted India’s chances on a green top wicket. pic.twitter.com/AktolR8vww
Eventually, England was down to 68/8 by the 17th, while David Willey (21) and Brydon Carse (15) added 35 for the ninth wicket, which turned out to be the highest partnership of the innings. However, it did not last long, as Bumrah cleaned up the latter in the 14th. Ultimately, the Three Lions got shot out for 110 by the 26th. While Bumrah bagged six, he was also the most economical one from his side.
The best by a country mile .. !!
