Team India members enjoyed the first ODI victory against England by 66 runs at Pune. It was a terrific comeback by the Indian team to snatch the win from England's jaw and take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

Ravi Shastri shared a couple of pictures from their celebration in the hotel. They are currently in a bio-secure bubble and can't go outside but it doesn't stop them from enjoying each other's company. 

"The pack that stays together. Bubble or no bubble. Results will come and go for others to follow. Great day in lovely Pune ???????????????? #TeamIndia," wrote Shastri while posting the picture.

Shastri made another post for India opener Shikhar Dhawan, the Man of the Match from the first ODI for his 98-run knock. "With Jatt Ji in the house! ???????????????? #TeamIndia", the caption read.

India's wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant also shared pictures with his teammates. The happy faces in the picture show how much fun they are having together. "The team that enjoys together, wins together! Great to get together with the team for some fun in the sun. @indiancricketteam", he wrote. 

Pant wasn't part of the first ODI as India are continuing with KL Rahul as their wicket-keeper batsman in this format. Rahul scored an unbeaten half-century coming out to bat at number 5. He and Krunal Pandya had added 112* runs for the sixth wicket as India scored 317/5.

In reply, England were bowled out for 251 runs in 42.1 overs. They were 135/0 at one stage before losing wickets in quick intervals. Jonny Bairstow was the top-scorer for them with a 66-ball 94 runs knock. He was dismissed by Shardul Thakur in the 23rd over and they failed to build another big partnership after his wicket.
