Rishabh Pant made his first hundred in a one-day international as India closed in on a series win over 50-over world champions England at Old Trafford on Sunday. | Sport24news
Pant made 125 not out, winning the game with a reverse-swept four off Joe Root as India finished on 261-5 after chasing down a target of 260 with 7.5 overs to spare.
India captain Rohit Sharma was buoyed by the form of his side ahead of October's T20 World Cup in Australia. "If you give good players a chance they will hurt you and had we taken those chances we had a good hold with a long tail," said Buttler. The 28-year-old left-arm quick removed the India top three of Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in a superb opening spell of 3-15 in five overs.
Buttler's 60 was his highest score since he succeeded the now retired Eoin Morgan as England's white-ball skipper.
