England batsman Joe Root’s return to One Day Internationals (ODIs) proved to be disappointing as he continued to falter against Indian spinner Ravindra Jadeja in the opening ODI at Nagpur this Thursday.

His innings ended when Jadeja caught him leg-before wicket, disrupting a promising 44-run partnership with England’s captain, Jos Buttler.
