After eight matches, England finally managed to win an international game on their tour of India as they defeated the hosts in a thriller at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Sunday.
The Eoin Morgan-led side’s five-run victory in the third ODI was a source of relief for them, having already lost the series.
Ben Stokes was named the Man of the Match for his unbeaten 57 from 39 deliveries and his spell of 3/63.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan lauded the performances of the English team, tweeting that winning even one game in India requires a great effort.
On the other hand, Indian coach Anil Kumble congratulated his team on the series win while it was noted by a few that England had come from conceding four sixes and the losing the World T20 final to bowling four dots to win an ODI at the same venue – Eden Gardens. Some redemption, there.
