Former India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin reserved blockbuster praise for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) teammate Ravindra Jadeja, calling him "more gifted than he can ever be". During the first ODI against England on Thursday, Jadeja picked up three wickets for just 26 runs in his nine overs, helping India beat the visitors by 4 wickets.

1st ODI: Shubman Gill Anchors India To 4-Wicket Win Over England, Harshit Rana Impresses On Debut

Vice-captain Shubman Gill orchestrated India's chase with grace, while debutant Harshit Rana dazzled with the ball as the hosts registered a four-wicket win against England in the series opener in Nagpur on Thursday. Gill (87), Shreyas Iyer (59), and Axar Patel (52) rose to the occasion, guiding India to a commanding chase after Rana (3/53 from 7 overs) and the seasoned left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja (3/26 from 9) shared six wickets between them, dismantling England for a below-par 248. Rana's fourth over, which claimed the twin wickets of Ben Duckett and Harry Brook, decisively stifled the England innings, putting India firmly in control as the visitors never managed to rebuild despite fifties by skipper Jos Buttler (52) and Jack Bethell (51).

During his 31-ball stay at the crease after England lost wicket of Phil Salt, Root's scoring opportunities were restricted well by India. Root could score just one boundary against Kuldeep Yadav. He was trapped leg-before wicket by Jadeja, breaking a 44-run stand between skipper Jos Buttler and Root. Against Jadeja in 10 innings in ODIs, Root has scored 133 runs in 115 balls and has been dismissed four times.

Mohammed Shami and Kuldeep Yadav are returning from injury while there is still no clarity over who will be the No. 1 wicketkeeper.
