1st ODI (D/N), The Oval, July 12, 2022, India tour of England

Team India produced an all-round performance to outclass England in the series opener with a 10-wicket win. It was a forgettable day for England with the bat as they were exploited by the Indian pacers under overcast conditions. Jasprit Bumrah led the Indian attack by claiming his career-best ODI figures of 6/19. 

The star-studded English batting line-up was undone by the swinging masterclass from Bumrah and his bowling partner Mohammed Shami. The rest of the job was done by Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan who helped India register a dominant win.

 

The premier India pacer went all guns blazing with the ball against a quality England batting line-up. Bumrah took the advantage of the overcast conditions to put doubts in



England’s batters’ minds and ended up taking six wickets. 

He became the first Indian pacer to claim six wickets in ODIs on English soil. While it was also the best bowling performance by an Indian against England. Bumrah’s carnage started in his first over itself, as he dismissed out-of-form Jason Roy on a duck. While the run-machine in Tests – Joe Root also became his victim in the same over. He didn’t stop there and continued taking wickets at regular intervals.
