India thrashed England by 142 runs to clean-sweep the three-match ODI series. Ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy the 'Men In Blue' have sent a warning to all the other teams with their no-nonsense approach in the limited over format.

India's performance in the last two ICC events has been quite impressive and Rohit Sharma and Co. can definitely draw some inspiration. The 'Men In Blue' lost to Australia in the ODI World Cup final while they ended their ICC title drought with the T20 World Cup title last year.
