It has been a while since the Indian cricket fan has got a reason to smile. Over the last 12 months, they’ve had to be satisfied with the odd victory here and there. In such a scenario, and ODI series win against England would be most welcome.

Going into the current ODI series against India, England had won only one of the previous 16 encounters held in India over the last three visits. However, all that seemed destined to change after the Englishmen, as if they were just carrying on from where they left off in the Tests, won the opening one-dayer courtesy a superlative batting performance.

Team India has regained its No.1 spot in ODI rankings after scoring wins over England in Kochi and Ranchi.

If India’s performance in the second ODI at Kochi was top notch, they were ruthless again against the Englishman on Saturday, at M S Dhoni’s hometown Ranchi. If it were the batsmen who set up India’s win in the Kochi game, this time it was the turn of the bowlers to shine upfront.

India crushed England by 7 wickets in the third ODI at Ranchi to take a series lead of 2-1. It was the bowlers who set up an easy win for India with England getting bundled out for just 155 on a decent batting strip. Virat Kohli regained his form with a stroke-filled 77* to wrap up the run chase in just 28.1 overs.
