India enjoyed a remarkable 2025 season in ODI cricket. Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, the team lifted the Champions Trophy after defeating New Zealand in the final and wrapped up the year with an impressive 2-1 home series victory over South Africa. Earlier in the year, they had also registered a series win against England. The only setback came in October, when they suffered a series of defeat to Australia. source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/who-finished-with-most-runs-for-india-in-odis-in-2025-2025-12-06-1020595
A game of a total of 12.5 overs, with England being tasked to chase down 69 off five of them in wet conditions at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff, just felt a bit bizarre, given multiple inspections were held to sneak in a few overs somehow to get the game. England eventually fell short by 14 runs but what else could they have done, given they had to go after the bowling from the word go, requiring 14 runs per over. Phil Salt's dismissal off the first ball of the innings, when he creamed it straight to the deep square leg fielder, pretty much summed up the contest.
