India struggled in the second match after getting off to a strong start in the three-match ODI series against England with a decisive 10-wicket victory against The Three Lions.
The batting order experienced a breakdown as they were bowled out for only 146 while attempting to reach a 247-run target. Now that the series was at 1???1, Team India must win the third game to guarantee a victory in the series.
Fantastic Performance By Indian Bowlers
England was bowled for 259 in the first innings of the third ODI, failing to put up a significant target. In order to keep them to the objective, the Indian bowlers did put up a fantastic performance. Hardik Pandya, who finished with career-best figures of 4/24, was undoubtedly the major wrecker.
He got things moving by getting the crucial wicket of Jason Roy, who was blazing ahead with 41 runs off of 31 balls. Ben Stokes, a prominent all-rounder, was the next victim, followed by Liam Livingstone, who was sporting a sharp appearance while batting.
However, Pandya???s dismissal of skipper Jos Buttler, who had the highest score of 60 runs, was unquestionably the most significant.
A Fit Hardik Pandya Is Simply Priceless: Aakash Chopra
After Pandya???s outstanding bowling performance, former India opener Aakash Chopra was all praise for him. In a tweet, he said that Hardik Pandya, who is essentially irreplaceable, is now the most crucial player for the Men in Blue in white-ball cricket.
Hardik Pandya is fast becoming India???s most important player in white-ball cricket. A fit Hardik is simply priceless. And yeah???you may try to find his replacements but there are none in India ATM.

Pandya wasn???t the only standout for the visitors; Yuzvendra Chahal also stood up, grabbing three wickets in the innings. India???s response has gotten off to a shaky start, losing 4 wickets in 18 overs. Pandya is presently on the crease and must bat a crucial innings to lead India to victory.
