In the opening ODI of the three-match series at the Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) Stadium, India dominated England with an all-round performance.

Shreyas Iyer fell to Jacob Bethell on 59 in 36 balls. Iyer put up a sublime display of attacking batting and raced to his half-century in just 30 balls. His counter-attacking stand with Shubman Gill undid whatever advantage England gained with early strikes.

Shubman Gill scored 87 as India beat England by 4 wickets in the first ODI at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Nagpur. The victory helped the hosts take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Pacer Harshit Rana impressed on his ODI debut as India bowled out England for a below-par 248 despite half-centuries from Jos Buttler and Jacob Bethell in the series opener.
