Lucknow: The Indian cricket team locked horns against England on Sunday and they trumped the defending champions by a whooping 100 runs. India skipper Rohit Sharma played a whirlwind knock of 87 runs while Suryakumar Yadav also contributed by scoring 49 runs. India posted a respectable 229/9 on the board and then the Indian bowling unit put on a magnificent effort bundling out the opposition on a paltry total of 129.
Pacer Mohammed Shami was the pick of the bowlers taking four wickets while pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah scalped three wickets. The victory was a special one for the Men in Blue as they almost booked a berth in the semi-final and it is very unlikely that they will not finish in top four by the end of the league stage.
