India redeemed themselves by clinching the ODI series against England by taking an unassailable 3-0 lead after a nail-biting five-wicket victory in the third cricket one-dayer here today.
After England scored a competitive 298 for four, the home side rode on Ajinkya Rahane’s 91 and a composed captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s calculated onslaught to overhaul the target of 299 with four balls to spare.
In a match that saw fortunes fluctuating from one team to the other, Dhoni (35 not out off 31) and Ravindra Jadeja (26 not out off 24) added 65 runs for the unseparated sixth-wicket stand and take the game to India’s favour at the PCA stadium.
India needed seven runs to win from the last over bowled by Tim Bresnan and Dhoni hit two consecutive fours from the first two balls to take his side to 300 for five and signal a thrilling victory and 3-0 lead in the five-match series.
