Shreyas Iyer Shines as India Eyes Consolation Win
The stage is set for an exciting finish, with India aiming to post a big total and England looking to chase it down and complete a series whitewash. The match will be a crucial test for both teams as they look to fine-tune their plans for upcoming tournaments.
Shubman Gill's unbeaten 109 and half-centuries from Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul have given India a strong platform to secure a consolation win in the third ODI against England in Ahmedabad. England, who lead the series 2-0, chose to bowl first and took regular wickets, but India's batsmen have built towards a big total.
Gill and Virat Kohli put on 116 for the second wicket, before Kohli was dismissed for 56. Shreyas Iyer then joined Gill and played a crucial innings of 67, helping India to a strong position. KL Rahul also chipped in with a quick 40, as India look to post a challenging total for England to chase. England's bowlers, led by Saqib Mahmood's 4/60, have had to work hard to restrict India's batsmen.
The match is significant for India as they look to fine-tune their plans for the upcoming Champions Trophy. A win would also help them regain some momentum after losing the series. England, on the other hand, aims to sign off the tour on a positive note and complete a 3-0 whitewash. Both teams made changes to their XI, with India bringing in Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, and Arshdeep Singh, and England replacing Jamie Overton and Jofra Archer with Tom Banton and Gus Atkinson.
As the match heads towards its conclusion, India will look to post a big total and put pressure on England's batsmen. With Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill in good form, India will be confident of securing a consolation win and ending the series on a high note.
