Overview
It was another overall performance from Virat Kohli and co as they went up 1-0 in the three-game ODI series. England put pressure on India several times in the game, but the hosts found ways to win with both bat and ball.
England were good with the ball up front and in the middle. They only conceded 39 points on the power play, then in 31-40 overruns, they took three wickets and gave only 46 points. At one point, it looked like India might not even go over 300 and waste the platform laid down by Shikhar Dhawan (98) and Virat Kohli (56). However, the brilliance of KL Rahul and newbie Krunal Pandya who brought India to 317 which was roughly equal on this surface in Pune.
Jonny Bairstow and Jason Roy had organized the chase beautifully, helping England get off to a stunning start. They were 131/0 in 14 overs. However, one wicket turned the tide and it was a batting royal meltdown and the visitors lost all 10 wickets for just 116 races. None of England’s other batsmen started and Moeen Ali was the only player outside the forerunners to pass 30. Newbie Prasidh Krishna who was taken for granted in his first spell came back strong to finish with four. counters. Shardul Thakur once again picked up crucial scalps and took three wickets in total. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was excellent on the power play and the back half of the innings. Krunal Pandya got the staff at first but returned to cast an economic spell.
So it was a global effort by India. The series is online in this second ODI. England have not lost successive bilateral ODI series since 2014.
Both teams have injury issues heading into the second game. Rohit Sharma was hit in the elbow as he punched and did not take the pitch.

However, he’s likely to play the second ODI while Sam Billings sprained his collarbone and he could miss the second game.

Choice of harbor master’s office
Virat kohli: Virat Kohli looked ominously in the first ODI and continued where he left off in the T20I series. The Indian skipper scored 56 out of 60 balls and looked ready for a big one. However, that elusive hundred slipped away from him once again as Kohli fled and dumped him. It now has three successive half centuries of ODI (it marked half centuries in the last two ODIs in Australia). Kohli beats wonderfully and he will be one of the best captain choices.
Jonny bairstow: Jonny Bairstow looked solid in the T20I series and consistently made good starts. He came back to the top of the order as usual in the first ODI and watched with a sublime touch. He smashed 94 out of 66 balls to give England a blazing start. So, Bairstow will be a popular option as a captain in Fantastic Teams.
