In Pics: India thrash England by 66 runs in 1st ODI

India rode on the superb performance by debutants Krunal Pandya and Prasidh Krishna to register a convincing 66-run victory over world champions England in the first ODI of the three-match series in Pune on Tuesday.

With this win, India has gone 1-0 up in the three-match series. Both teams will now lock horns in the second ODI on Friday.

Both Krunal and Krishna set records, with the former scoring the fastest half-century in ODIs and the latter recording best figures by an Indian on ODI debut.

After Krunal, the older of the Pandya brothers, had powered to a 26-ball half-century and put up an unbeaten 112-run stand with KL Rahul (62 not out, 4x4s, 4x6s) to put India in the driver's seat, right-arm Karnataka pacer Krishna shrugged off early nerve to provide India the breakthrough to bring them back in the match.

Before Krishna's strikes, England opener Jonny Bairstow (94 off 66 balls) had put India under the pump. Bairstow added 135 with Jason Roy (46 off 35 balls) for the first wicket in just over 14 overs. Krishna got rid of Roy and Ben Stokes (1) to help India get back.

Shardul Thakur (3/37) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2/30) were the other two main wicket-takers as India ran through the England middle and lower orders without much problem.

Earlier, opener Shikhar Dhawan had laid the platform for a big total with his 98 off 106 balls (11x4s, 2x6s). Dhawan stitched a 105-run partnership with skipper Virat Kohli (56 off 60 balls, 6x4s) to help India reach the 150-run mark in the 29th over.

Brief scores: India: 317/5 wkts in 50 overs (Shikhar Dhawan 98, KL Rahul 62 not out, Krunal Pandya 58 not out; Ben Stokes 3/34) beat England 251 all out in 42.1 overs (J. Bairstow 94, J. Roy 46, M. Prasidh Krishna 4/54, S. Thakur 3/37, B. Kumar 2/30) by 66 runs
