IND vs ENG: Here's How Fans Reacted As Rohit, Bumrah and Shami Demolish England In World Cup 2023

England and India engaged in the 29th match of the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 at the Ekana stadium in Lucknow. Having won the toss, England elected to commence the contest on the field.India encountered challenges as the first-pitcher for the first time in the history of the World Cup on account of a difficult pitch. Rohit Sharma launched an early assault in the third over, striking David Willey for two sixes. Shubman Gill was dismissed by Chris Woakes due to the irregular nature of the pitch.

As Virat Kohli struggled against David Willey and Shreyas Iyer made the unfortunate decision to pull a delivery that was not short enough, the unpredictability of the pitch was evident. India were in a dire situation at 40/3 in the twelfth over. Then, KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma reconstructed India's innings, with Sharma surviving an LBW appeal and scoring rapidly. The magnificent innings of Rohit was terminated by a googly dismissal by Adil Rashid.

The Hitman's remarkable 87 runs off 101 deliveries ultimately distinguished the home team. With his 49 runs, Suryakumar Yadav, a batsman in the middle order, was instrumental in India reaching a target of 229/8 in 50 overs.England got off to a solid start in pursuit of the target, reaching 30 for no loss in the fifth over. However, to bring India back into the game, Jasprit Bumrah, the best fast bowler in the world, demonstrated his prowess by dismissing number three batsman Joe Root and David Malan with consecutive deliveries.

Mohammed Shami subsequently dismissed Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes, leaving the defending champions in a precarious position at 39/4. After those four early wickets, England was unable to escape the pressure of the pursuit and continued to lose wickets at regular intervals. Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav both performed admirably as bowlers, claiming one and two wickets, respectively. At the conclusion of the match, England were dismissed for a mere 129 runs, while India secured a sixth consecutive victory by a margin of 100 runs.
