India secured a four-wicket victory against England in the first ODI, with Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, and Axar Patel playing pivotal roles in the chase of a 249-run target. Gill's composed 87 runs were instrumental in anchoring India's innings, supported by significant contributions from Iyer and Patel. Harshit Rana made an impactful debut, taking key wickets alongside Ravindra Jadeja, who helped in restricting England to 248. Despite recent disappointing performances in Test series against Australia and New Zealand, Gill defended the team's form, emphasizing past successes in World Cup tournaments.

The match is seen as a crucial warm-up for the upcoming Champions Trophy, with Gill being viewed as a potential future leader for India.
