It was a rocking performance from Team India in the opening One-Day International (ODI) against England at The Oval in London on Tuesday. The visitors clearly carried the winning momentum from the recently-concluded Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) against the same side, winning it 2-1. As for this ODI, pacer Jasprit Bumrah's six-for, followed by skipper cum opener Rohit Sharma's unbeaten 75, aided India in the win and drew first blood in the three-game series. As a result, social media was delighted by the same and went jubilant.

After winning the toss, Rohit opted to bowl, with the conditions initially favouring the bowling side. It turned out to be the perfect decision, as England saw a horrific collapse and was down to 26/5 by the eighth over of the powerplay, with Bumrah wreaking havoc during the phase. Although David Willey (21) and Brydon Carse (15) put on a 35-run stand for the ninth wicket, it wasn't enough to set up a match-winning total, as the hosts were knocked over for a nominal 110 within the 26th over.
