England vs India 2018, 1st ODI: Player Ratings
India began the three-match ODI series against England in fine fashion winning the opening game by 8 wickets at Trent Bridge on Thursday.
Opting to bowl first, left-arm chinaman spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who was dropped from the third and deciding T20I at Bristol on Sunday, proved to be the nemesis for the hosts, picking up career-best figures of 6 for 25 to restrict the hosts in good batting conditions to 268 all out.
In reply, Rohit Sharma carried on from where he had left off at Bristol, smashing yet another ODI ton and helping the Men In Blue get off a near perfect start in the 50-over leg of their tour of England.
Here are the Player ratings from the game:
Shikhar Dhawan: 2/10
The left-hander got off to a good start but gave his wicket away to Moeen Ali at the score of 40.
