India Clinches ODI Series Against England

Joe Root became the record-holder for the most fifty-plus scores in England's ODI history, achieving his 40th half-century in a match against India, but his efforts were overshadowed by India's victory. In the second ODI, Rohit Sharma's 119 off 90 balls led India to a series-clinching win over England despite a floodlight failure delay, securing a 2-0 lead. Shubman Gill and Ben Duckett also played significant roles for their respective teams, with Gill scoring 87 in the first ODI, and Duckett contributing 65 in the second. England's struggles continue as they face their fourth consecutive ODI series defeat ahead of the Champions Trophy. Despite competitive scores from Root and Duckett, England's batting line-up could not withstand India's bowling led by Ravindra Jadeja. India's commanding performance highlights their strength as they prepare for the upcoming Champions Trophy.
