Catch all the drama from the India vs England 3rd ODI live! Will Kohli shine? Will history be made? Let’s dive into the action!

The exciting cricket showdown between India and England has reached its climax with the third ODI taking place in Ahmedabad. Both teams have taken turns to set the stage ablaze throughout the series, but this final match offers India a golden opportunity to refine their squad before heading into the prestigious Champions Trophy. With star bowler Jasprit Bumrah sidelined for the tournament, support from the other players becomes even more paramount. Fans eagerly await to see if Virat Kohli, recovering from injury, will regain his prominent form and keep the scoreboard ticking while partnering with Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill at the crease.

In yesterday’s exhilarating episode, India was asked to bat first following England's captain Jos Buttler’s winning toss. What a treat it was as Shubman Gill and Kohli not only provided a solid start but also went on to establish a remarkable 116-run partnership for the second wicket. Despite losing Rohit early in the match, the duo’s synergy had fans cheering and gasping with excitement. They managed to gather runs quickly, and every boundary sent waves of thrill through Ahmedabad's stadium, reinforcing the power-packed reputation of Indian cricket.

As the game unfolds, the pressure mounts. With a chance to wrap up the series at 2-0, India’s players are feeling the weight of expectations bearing down on them. The pitch may be sluggish, but the momentum they bring to it is anything but; even with a couple of wickets in hand, there’s no doubt the players are geared up to capitalize on every opportunity. On the other end, England is also hungry for a win, hoping to spoil India’s party by denying their rivals a clean sweep. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and both teams know it.

Let’s not forget that the rivalry between India and England goes deeper than just stats and scores. Over the decades, every encounter has been measured not just in runs but in emotional ties; tales of friendship, respect, and sometimes, fierce competition echo through the annals of cricket history. And as we immerse ourselves in the batsman’s fierce cut against the bowler's spin, we realize why cricket is dubbed a religion in both nations. Who will take the honor of thrashing their opponent in this battle of wills? Will Kohli's magic glimmer in the spotlight once more, or will England rain on India’s parade? Only time will tell!

Interesting Fact: Did you know that in The Ashes series which features England and Australia, the competition is equally heated as India and England? It’s renowned as one of the fiercest rivalries in cricket history!

Another fun tidbit: Virat Kohli has been on a record-breaking spree – he is the fastest player to score 8,000, 9,000, 10,000, and even 11,000 runs in ODI cricket. The stakes are high and for Kohli, every match is a new opportunity to etch his name further into cricketing history!
