Now that the India-England ODI series has come to an end, it has made one thing crystal clear that none is a finished article ahead of the next summer’s World Cup. However, some players from both the sides showed a lot of guts and here, we present you the five best batsmen in the series.

Joe Root: Thanks to his majesty to score runs like anything with the red-ball, Joe Root has always been touted as a Test specialist, despite averaging a bloody good 51.61 at a decent strike rate of 86.83 in ODIs. In a line-up that has out and out power-hitters, Root is an anomaly and although England team management knows that what the Test skipper brings to the table, he was increasingly under pressure due to a poor run of form in the limited-overs cricket.

While Alex Hales’ side strain somehow took some pressure off Root’s mind, his two consecutive centuries has taken his confidence to yet another level. In a team full of power-hitters, Root stands out as a stylist and perhaps that was the most pleasing aspect in his batting. Not only, was he the highest run-scorer in the series, he was the most technically sound batsman as well. While others attempted to innovate with strokes, he, , simply played the game situation and led England to victory in two consecutive games.  

 in which no one can be trusted to deliver success always. This series is a prime example. Despite getting explosive starts in all three matches, he failed to translate that to big scores and got out by playing either reckless shots or the lack of athleticism between the wickets.
