The 3 -match ODI series between India and England is going to begin on Thursday, 6 February. At the same time, the first match will be face to face at Vidarbha Cricket Stadium in Nagpur. England’s eyes will be on avenging the strong defeat in T20, while Team India would like to start with a win in the ODI series on the lines of T20.
It is not good for India to consider England as weak. The British challenged India on several occasions in the T20 series. Jose Butler’s team can also ask difficult questions in ODIs. However, defeating India on Indian soil is nothing less than a crooked kheer for any team in the world. Captain Rohit Sharma and star batsman Virat Kohli’s form is a matter of concern for the team, but now the formats and conditions are different, both batsmen have a great opportunity to perform well.
The pitch of Nagpur is suitable for spinners, but big scores are also made here. According to the pitch curator, the pitch is 300 plus scores. In such a situation, a high scoring match can be seen. However, India can land with three spinners. So it will be a big challenge for the visiting team to face India’s spin attack.
India’s possible playing XI against England
Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Akshar Patel, Varun Chakraborty, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami.
