India vs england 1st odi: The 3 -match ODI series between India and England will begin on Thursday (February 6). In terms of Champions Trophy 2025, these three matches are very important for Rohit & Co.. It will be decided from these matches that when the Indian team takes the field against Bangladesh on February 19, what will be the playing XI.
Captain Rohit Sharma will also be under pressure to return to the victory track and get the form in batting. When the last time Team India played ODI series, he had to face defeat against Sri Lanka. At the same time, Gautam Gambhir’s journey with Suryakumar Yadav has been excellent, but his pairing with Rohit has proved to be a flop yet.
Team India’s performance in the T20 series against England was excellent. Under the leadership of Surya, the young brigade, blowing the British, won the series 4–1. However, when the Indian team plays an ODI series against England, the players who were rocking the field two days ago will not be seen playing. From Abhishek Sharma to Captain Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh and Ravi Bishnoi, who made a sensation by hitting a century off 37 balls at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
It is a matter of happiness for Indian fans that Varun Chakraborty, the mystery spinner who made English batsmen sleepy in the T20 series, has also got a place in the ODI team. However, he has been included in the team in place of star fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah which is a matter of concern. According to the report, Bumrah is still not fully fit and hence the selectors do not want to take the risk by feeding them before the Champions Trophy.
India’s playing XI will be like this in the first ODI
Potential playing XI of Team India: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill (vice -captain), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wicket -keeper), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav/ Varun Chakraborty, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh , Harshit Rana
