BCCI forced to spray water on India fans during Cuttack ODI as brutal heat becomes unbearable, Ravichandran Ashwin reacts

India National Cricket Team and the England National Cricket Team are currently locking horns with each other in the second game of the three-match series. The Barabati Stadium in Cuttack is hosting the penultimate game of the series.

Players of the teams are having a tough time in the match because of the heat in Cuttack. It has been a sizzling hot day, and the struggles of the players have been very visible as the heat has taken a lot out of the players, who constantly have been seen taking drinks.

Not only the players but fans too have been facing troubles as the temperature in Cuttack was around 34 degrees Celsius, but it surely seemed like more than that. However, in an act of kindness by the staff of the stadium, they came up with a heat navigator for fans.

England came up with a much better effort with the bat than in the last game

Coming to the match, England National Cricket Team came up with a much better effort with the bat than in the last game. Opting to bat first, Phil Salt and Ben Duckett yet again provided their team with a brutal start, putting Indian bowlers under pressure.

Phil Salt played an innings of 26 runs while Ben Duckett (65) slammed a solid half-century as the duo added 81 runs for the opening partnership. Joe Root, who walked out to bat at No.3, played a vital hand for the visitors and slammed a half-century, ending with the score of 69 runs.

Ravindra Jadeja shines with the ball for India, picks three wickets

Root, along with Harry Brook (31), added 66 runs for the third wicket before skipper Jos Buttler also chipped in with a crucial 34-run knock. For the India National Cricket Team, Ravindra Jadeja has been a pick of bowlers as he picked up three wickets in the 10 overs that he bowled and gave away just 35 runs.

The series between India and England is currently at 1-0 in favor of the hosts. The Rohit Sharma-led side won the first match of the series by the margin of 4 wickets and ticked most of the boxes right both with the bat as well as the ball.

India would now want some runs from their senior players, in particular Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The Indian captain scored 2 runs in the first game while Kohli missed the match due to injury. Both the batters would be keen to get some runs and help a team win.
