India vs england 3rd odi: After licking England in the T20 series, Team India has also washed the British in the ODI series. India won the five-match T20 series 4–1. Now Rohit & Co. is ahead 2–0 in the three-match ODI series. Now in the third ODI, the Indian team will land on the field with the intention of making a clean sweep. At the same time, England’s eyes will be on saving credit.
The third ODI between India and England will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, 12 February. With the easy win in the first two matches, the Indian team, enthusiastically enthusiastically, will take a clean sweep by retaining their rhythm in the third ODI against England on Wednesday. However, in this match, everyone’s eyes will be on Virat Kohli’s performance, as Virat has this last chance to get the form before the Champions Trophy.
Needless to say that the Indian team will be worried about Kohli’s form before the Champions Trophy. The Champions Trophy to be played between eight teams will begin in Pakistan and Dubai from February 19. India will play all its matches in Dubai. India will play its first match against Bangladesh on 20 February and will face its arch rival Pakistan on 23 February.
Captain Rohit Sharma returned to the form by scoring 119 off 90 balls in the second ODI, which is a good sign for India. Kohli would like to play a big innings here by taking inspiration from this partner. Kohli is not fully visible in the rhythm, but he is not staying at the crease for so long that he can give himself a chance to play a big innings.
If Kohli’s bat goes, then this star batsman can become the third player to score 14000 runs in ODI cricket. Kohli needs only 89 runs to reach this point. India has done well in all three departments so far. India’s bowling attack has strengthened with the inclusion of spinner Varun Chakraborty in the team and the return of fast bowler Mohammed Shami.
The team of both India and England did not practice on Tuesday, as they want to get fresh in the third ODI. In the match played in Cuttack of Rohit, the century will also inspire other players of the team to perform well. These include wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul, who have not yet been able to perform as expected.
As far as the England team led by Jose Butler is concerned, it will have to perform well in the three departments to win morale before the Champions Trophy. His team’s troubles have also increased due to all -rounder Jacob Bethel’s injury.
In the last match, the opening pair of Phil Salt and Ben Docket gave England a good start, but they could not take advantage of it. Joe Root has also left its influence, but he has not got support from the other side. In bowling, spinner Adil Rashid has taken full advantage of the circumstances, but if England want to win then his batsmen will have to perform their best.
