PUNE, India (Reuters) - India debutant Prasidh Krishna and fellow seamer Shardul Thakur combined to derail England's chase and bowl the hosts to a 66-run victory in the one-day series opener in Pune on Tuesday.

Shikhar Dhawan made 98 but it was the blistering unbroken century-plus partnership between KL Rahul and debutant Krunal Pandya which helped India to a strong 317-5.
