India won the final ODI to complete a 2-1 series win against England. Here are player ratings for the triumphant Indian side.
Harmanpreet Kaur - 8
3 matches, 126 runs at 42.00, SR 105, HS: 102, 1 hundred
Kaur started with two low scores before exploding in a masterclass of strokes to become the first overseas cricketer to hit three hundreds in women’s ODIs in England. The innings helped India round up an excellent tour of England.
Smriti Mandhana - 7.5
3 matches, 115 runs at 38.33, SR 89, HS: 45
No big score from Mandhana this time, but she looked good in each of her cameos, of 28, 42, and 45. There is little to worry on that front.
Jemimah Rodrigues - 8
3 matches, 101 runs at 33.67, SR 94, HS: 50, 1 fifty
Rodrigues played her part in both Indian triumphs, with two rapid innings at Southampton and Chester-le-Street. Gets half a point for her fielding, especially in the decider.
Harleen Deol - 5.5
3 matches, 88 runs at 29.33, SR 66, HS: 45
More was expected of Deol at the vital one-drop position. She got a few runs at Chester-le-Street, but that strike rate across three ODIs remains a matter of concern.
Richa Ghosh - 6
3 matches, 50 runs at 25.00, SR 135, HS: 38*
With a dazzling cameo at Chester-le-Street, Ghosh played her part in taking India to 318-5 in the decider.
Pratika Rawal - 3
3 matches, 65 runs at 21.67, SR 69, HS: 36 | Ct: 1, St: 1
All eyes were on Rawal in her first series against a major opposition after she averaged 63.80 across her first 11 ODIs. Three ODIs may be too short a span to judge a batter of her quality, but against Australia. the selectors may want to have another look at the discarded Shafali Verma. Rawal, if she bats at three, and Deol may end up competing for the No.3 spot.
Arundhati Reddy - 3
1 match, 14 runs at 14.00, SR 77, HS: 14 | 0 wicket, Ec 4.20
Reddy did little of note in her only outing, at Lord’s.

Sneh Rana - 6.5
3 matches, 6 runs at 6.00, SR 150.00, HS: 6 | 3 wickets at 33.33, Ec 4.34, BBI: 2-31
An excellent foil in the middle overs, Rana was particularly difficult to score off until Nat Sciver-Brunt and Emma Lamb got together in the third ODI.
Deepti Sharma - 7.5
3 matches, 92 runs, no average, SR 94, HS: 62*, 1 fifty | 1 wicket at 136.00, Ec 5.44, BBI: 1-55
Sharma played vital hands with the bat in the first two games, scoring at brisk pace, and did not bat in the other. She had a rare ordinary (but not poor) outing with the ball. Gets half a point for that truly astonishing catch of Amy Jones in the decider.
Amanjot Kaur - 5
1 match, 20 runs, no average, SR 143, HS: 20* | 1 wicket at 58.00, Ec 5.80, BBI: 1-58
Having already taken a wicket, Amanjot walked out with 33 to win in 30 balls at Southampton, and hit four fours in 14 balls to quickly seal the match – but did not get another game.
Kranti Goud - 8.5
3 matches, 9 wickets at 15.11, Ec 6.22, BBI: 6-52, 1 five-for
At Southampton, Goud took 12 balls to strike twice. At Chester-le-Street, she took one ball more than that, but made up with four more strikes in 17 balls at the death to seal a famous win. While expensive at times – she loses half a point for her 11 wides in the series – Goud emerged as the strike bowler for India, taking more wickets than all her teammates put together.
Radha Yadav - 2
1 match, 0 wicket, Ec 6.20
Yadav did little of note in her only outing in the series.
N Shree Charani - 5
3 matches, 3 wickets at 47.33, Ec 5.91, BBI: 2-68
After an excellent run in the T20Is, Shree Charani was not as incisive in the ODIs. However, her wicket of Lamb was vital in the decider.
