The Indian team is playing a three-match ODI series against England. The first match between the two teams was played in Nagpur on 6 February, in which the Indian bowlers performed brilliantly and troubled the visiting team a lot. Meanwhile, Ravindra Jadeja registered a big record in his name by spreading the magic of his spin bowling. He wreaked havoc on Jos Buttler and company and took three wickets. Based on this, he made a big record in his name. He has become the highest wicket-taker in ODI matches played between India and England. 

Flintoff-Anderson came ahead 

Ravindra Jadeja has played 27 ODIs against England so far, in which he took 42 wickets in 26 innings at an economy of 4.26. With this, he broke James Anderson’s record. He was the highest wicket-taker in IND vs ENG ODI matches by taking 40 wickets in 31 matches. But now Ravindra Jadeja has made this record in his name. Andrew Flintoff is in third place. He took 37 wickets in 30 matches against India. While former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh deserves the fourth position with 36 wickets. 

This was the performance of the England team 

England came to bat first after winning the toss and their innings were reduced to a score of 248 runs in 47.4 overs. The team was able to achieve this score due to the half-centuries of Jos Buttler and Jacob Bethell. These two batsmen scored 52 runs and 51 runs respectively. No other player could touch the 50-run mark. Openers Phil Salt was out after scoring 43 runs and Ben Duckett 32 runs. Joe Root contributed 19 runs, Brydon Carse 10 runs, and Jofra Archer 21 runs.
