England tried to make a comeback in the end with a few quick wickets. However, Axar Patel (41*) and Ravindra Jadeja (11*) held their nerves and took the home team over the line in 44.3 overs.

“It was a good pitch to bat on”- Shubman Gill after India’s victory vs England in 2nd ODI

After the conclusion of the match, Team India vice-captain Shubman Gill reflected on the win, saying:

“I was feeling good out there today. And with Rohit bhai, he makes it easier for you. The way he dominated the fast bowlers was a treat to watch from the non-striker’s end. It was a good pitch to bat on. The odd ball was skidding on. But overall, it was a very good pitch.

“The chat between us was simple. We tried to keep things simple and went after the ball that was there to be hit.”

The two teams will lock horns in the final ODI of the three-series on Wednesday (February 12) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
