Jos Buttler won the toss and elected to bowl first in the 3rd IND vs ENG ODI in Ahmedabad.
The third ODI between India and England got underway at its scheduled time on Wednesday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
India are leading the series 2-0 and have sealed the three-match series already with four-wicket wins in Nagpur and Cuttack.
The Ahmedabad ODI provides opportunity for both teams to test some plans and combinations ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will kick off on February 19.
Early into the game, Indian fans were left infuriated and confused as they couldn’t switch to English commentary on the Hotstar app and website, the official live streaming broadcaster for this series.
It seemed there was a technical issue with Hotstar as there was only Hindi commentary provided for the 3rd ODI and fans couldn’t switch to either English or other regional languages.
Check out the reactions of fans to his blunder from Hotstar:
Meanwhile, talking about the game, India are off to a brisk start due to fifties from Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli. India lost Rohit Sharma in the second over but then Gill and Rohit formed a partnership of 116 runs. Kohli scored 52 runs off 55 balls before falling to Adil Rashid. This is Gill’s third fifty of the series.
