India defeated England by 50 runs with the help of powerful all-round performance from Hardik Pandya while Deepak Hooda and Suryakumar Yadav also impressed with their bat by scoring 33(17) and 39(19) respectively. England were never in this chase as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals and thus even the decent knocks of Moeen Ali and Chris Jordan in the end couldn't save the game for England. Rohit Sharma on his return as captain has achieved some phenomenal achievements and we will look at them in this article.
