Manchester: Following his side's five-wicket win over England in the final ODI, skipper Rohit Sharma became the third captain to win an ODI series in England.
Rishabh Pant's unbeaten 125* and his 133-run partnership with Hardik Pandya helped India chase down 260 in the final ODI of the three-match series at Manchester and win the series 2-1.
