With a four-wicket haul in the third ODI against India on Wednesday, Adil Rashid etched his name in the history book by becoming just the seventh England player to take 400 international wickets.
This concludes India's successful home white-ball series against England, securing 4-1 win in T20Is and 3-0 win in ODIs. This is Gautam Gambhir's first ODI series win as head coach.
New Zealand's former white-ball maestro Martin Guptill recalled his days of opening the batting alongside current Indian skipper Rohit Sharma following his stunning unbeaten 160* off just 49 balls in the Legend 90 League on Monday.
