India's invincible streak met its match as England claimed a 26-run victory in the third ODI, keeping their hopes alive in the five-game series. The game saw two contrasting yet equally exciting leg-spinners, with new-age Varun Chakravarthy's five-wicket haul being overshadowed by the finesse of England's Adil Rashid. Despite India's strong batting line-up and record-breaking spinners, the match proved that every team has its off days and that cricket is a game of uncertainty.
Yorkshire and former England captain Michael Vaughan have openly criticized the decision to select Adil Rashid for the first Test against India, despite the spinner's absence from red-ball domestic cricket this season. Rashid has responded to their comments by stating he is not affected by their opinions. While Vaughan has called the situation "ridiculous", Chief Executive Mark Arthur of Yorkshire has expressed disappointment with England's choice, emphasizing that it diminishes the value of the county game. Rashid's desire to focus on white-ball cricket and his selection by Ed Smith based on exceptional circumstances is behind the decision, but it has caused significant tension within the English cricket community.
