Ajinkya Rahane (106) made his maiden ODI hundred. His previous best was 91 also against England at Mohali in 2011.

Ajinkya Rahane’s 106 is the second highest score by an Indian batsman against England in England after Virat Kohli’s 107 at Cardiff in 2011.

Incidentally Rahane is only the second Indian to score a hundred in both Tests and ODIs in England in same season, after Sachin Tendulkar who accomplished this feat in 2002.

The 9-wicket win is India’s biggest against England. They had also beaten England by same margin at The Oval in 1986.

India won the match with 117 balls to spare. This is India’s biggest win against England and sixth biggest by any side while chasing a 200+ target.

MS Dhoni became India’s most successful ODI captain, moving ahead of Mohammad Azharuddin’s tally of 90 wins. 

Incidentally Dhoni has now won most matches as India’s captain in all three formats:

in Tests: 27 (next best: Sourav Ganguly-21)

in ODIs: 91 (next best: Mohammad Azharuddin-90)

in T20s: 27 (next best: Suresh Raina-3)

By winning the match India took an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series. The last time India had won a bilateral series in England was in 1990.

At times, one feels they are surviving on their reputation and not its execution. But these enigmatic geniuses often find someone who understands their worth, who believes in them as much as they believe in themselves. Yusuf Pathan is an enigma. Everyone knows of his supreme leather-pounding power and they love him for that. But to their dismay they don’t see that skill being converted into runs. But those close to him and his team mates see what others can’t. His Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Gautam Gambhir, surely does.  Questions have been raised about Pathan’s place in the KKR Playing XI since the beginning of the 2012 IPL. And with every low score against his name, they have gotten louder. In IPL 2013, Pathan has played three matches so far and scored 18*, 0 and 27.  They’re not big scores but they’
