India vs England 2016/17- 3rd ODI, stats: Kedar Jadhav's heroics in vain as England salvage pride

England beat India by 5 runs in the third and final ODI at Eden Gardens to salvage some pride after losing the first two matches. With this, India take the series 2-1 and this should give Virat Kohli and co. some confidence going into the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy.

Chasing 322 to win, India lost Ajinkya Rahane and KL Rahul early. Skipper Virat Kohli steadied the ship with a 63-ball 55, but he was dismissed by Ben Stokes. Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni tried their best to pull things back on track before perishing for 45 and 25 respectively. Hardik Pandya and Kedar Jadhav played the innings of their life and put on a 104-run partnership for the sixth wicket.

Both of them scored their individual fifties and threatened to take India home. It was when Stokes struck again as he castled Pandya for 56. Jadeja played a cameo and was dismissed for 10 with 31 needed off 19 runs. Ashwin followed him soon after and with 16 required off the last over, Jadhav smashed the first two balls for a four and a six. India were favourites to win as just 6 runs were needed off 4 balls. But, Chris Woakes kept his cool and bowled four dots off the next four balls including the wicket of Jadhav for 90 off the penultimate ball to seal the match for India.

Earlier in the day, England ended their innings at 321/8 in 50 overs, thanks to fifties from Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes. Hardik was the pick of the Indian bowlers as he finished with 3-49 in his ten overs. With the exception of Hardik, every other bowler was taken to the cleaners by the England batsmen. Ben Stokes was declared as the Player of the Match while Jadhav was declared as the Man of the Series.
