India vs England

India vs England: After a dominating start to the ongoing 50-overs series, India aims to seal the series with a 2-0 lead in the second ODI match at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. The half-centuries from Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, and Axar Patel guided India to a comfortable 249-run chase and bolstered the team’s batting line-up in Virat Kohli’s absence, who had to miss the match due to knee swelling.
