Dus Guna Lagaan Vasool: Virender Sehwag after India trump England's 350
Virat Kohli and Kedar Jadhav put on 200 runs for the fifth wicket as India scored 356/7 in 48.1 overs to seal a stunning win in the first ODI against England in Pune.
Virat Kohli and Kedar Jadhav hit centuries and combined in a 200-run stand to help India comfortably chase down a steep target of 351 against England and win the first one-day international by three wickets on Sunday.
India's chase seemed over when England reduced them to 63/4 in the 12th over but captain Kohli and local boy Jadhav turned the match on its head with the hosts reaching the target with 11 balls to spare to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Kohli scored 122 runs off 105 balls, including eight fours and five sixes, while Jadhav hit 120 runs off 76 balls.
This was India's third highest successful ODI run-chase - despite England's biggest ODI score against India with 350/7.
Here are some of the reactions on Twitter to India's scintillating win over England:
