India made an impressive comeback after their disappointing 0-4 whitewash loss to England in the T20I series, securing a six-wicket victory in the opening ODI of the tour. Leading from the front, skipper Shubman Gill played a wonderful innings of 80, while the pace attack struck early to put England under pressure. Axar Patel also stood out with his all-round performance. Looking ahead, the team management will be encouraged by Axar’s return to form, contributing effectively with both bat and ball.
