PLAYER RATINGS: England collapse after flying start to hand Krunal Pandya-inspired India victory

The Cricketer runs the rule over the individual performances of both sets of players during the first ODI between India and England in Pune

INDIA

Rohit Sharma (28): England bowled well to Rohit, one of the all-time greats of ODI cricket; he edged behind to a wide ball from Stokes 5

Shikhar Dhawan (98): Didn’t appear to be in great touch early on, but found his rhythm and was unfortunate not to reach three figures 9

Virat Kohli (52): Seemed set for a big score but carelessly picked out deep midwicket when well set 7

Shreyas Iyer (6): A miserable day for the talented batsman, who fell cheaply and then injured his shoulder in the field 3

KL Rahul (62*): A welcome return to form for Rahul, who needed runs having been picked ahead of Rishabh Pant to keep wicket and bat at No.5 8

Hardik Pandya (1): The allrounder didn’t bowl in this game as India look to manage his recent troubles with injury; his dismissal was soft, almost guiding the ball into the hands of first slip 2

Krunal Pandya (58* & 1-59): A fantastic effort on ODI debut from the older Pandya, who changed the game and gave India momentum with a tremendous counterattack in the last 10 overs 8

Shardul Thakur (3-37): Took three key wickets of Bairstow, Morgan and Buttler - bowled nicely 8

Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2-30): Best of the bowlers on show across both sides - not for the first time 8

Kuldeep Yadav (0-68): Horribly short on rhythm and taken down early on by Bairstow 3

Prasidh Krishna (4-54): Four wickets on debut for the seamer, who was attacked by England early on but recovered well 7

^{Krunal Pandya changed the game with his late hitting}

ENGLAND

Jason Roy (46): His highest ODI score since the World Cup semi-final in 2019 and played some gorgeous shots, before cutting at point 6

Jonny Bairstow (94): Brutal assault on India’s bowling from a remarkable white-ball cricketer – like Dhawan, deserved a hundred 9

Ben Stokes (1 & 3-34): Excellent day with the ball for the allrounder, who was the pick of England's seamers; as expected, he was pushed up to bat at No.3 in Joe Root’s absence 6

Eoin Morgan (22): Split the webbing on his hand but still looked in fine touch with the bat, before edging an attempted pull shot off Krishna 4

Jos Buttler (2): Victim of a marginal lbw decision, upheld on review. Quiet day 2

Sam Billings (18): Difficult game for the Kent man, who injured his collar bone joint in the field and then came to the crease mid-collapse. Will be disappointed by the manner of his dismissal 4

Moeen Ali (30 & 0-28): Expensive with the ball and dropped a sitter, but looked in decent touch with the bat 4

Sam Curran (12 & 0-48): Bowled manfully but not at his best with the bat 5

Tom Curran (11 & 0-63): Another difficult day for Tom Curran, who has now taken just one wicket in his last nine ODIs, though he bowled nicely with the newer ball 4

Adil Rashid (0 & 0-66): A rare off-day for the leg-spinner, who was played expertly by India’s batsmen. He would have taken a couple of wickets if Moeen had held a straightforward catch and a tight lbw had gone his way 4

Mark Wood (2* & 2-75): Quick with the new ball but the victim of Krunal’s late charge 4
