The first match of the three -match ODI series between India and England will be played in Nagpur on Thursday, February 6. Learn here how the playing XI of Team India can be in this match.
India’s top order is already fixed in the ODI team. Captain Rohit Sharma and young star Shubman Gill will be seen starting the innings. After this, Virat Kohli is scheduled to play at number three. Virat performed brilliantly in the 2023 ODI World Cup. Virat has a good chance to show his form before the Champions Trophy. After this, Shreyas Iyer is also fixed at number four.
Rishabh Pant and Kuldeep will have to wait
When the team was announced for this series, captain Rohit Sharma and Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar made it clear that KL Rahul will be the first choice as a wicketkeeper. In such a situation, Rishabh Pant is definitely a part of the team, but it is difficult to find a place in the playing XI. Along with this, spin all -rounder Washington Sundar and Chinaman spinner Kuldeep Yadav can also be seen sitting on the bench.

This mystery spinner has been included in the ODI team last time. Varun Chakraborty took the most 14 wickets in the five -match T20 series against the British.
