With the ICC Champions Trophy to get underway later this month, both India and England will be keen to do well in the upcoming series. The momentum is definitely with India after their 4-1 victory in the T20I series and they will be looking to make the most of it.
The upcoming 1st IND vs ENG ODI will be played on Thursday (February 6) at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. The match will be played from 01:30 PM (IST).
England:
Jos Buttler (C), Harry Brook, Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Jacob Bethell, Liam Livingstone, Brydon Carse, Jamie Overton, Jamie Smith, Philip Salt, Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood, Mark Wood
Rohit Sharma has been facing severe criticism in recent times. The India skipper has faced the heat not only for his leadership but his batting as well. Recently, he failed to impress in the Ranji Trophy as well. The right-handed batsman will be desperate to regain his form and lead India from the front in the first IND vs ENG ODI.
Jos Buttler vs Kuldeep Yadav:
Buttler is more than capable of playing a match-winning knock and India will be hoping that they don't let the England captain deliver with the bat. The Men in Blue will be relying on their left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav to dismiss Buttler. Kuldeep has faced Buttler in two ODI innings so far and managed to get rid of him on both occasions.
Joe Root could also cause problems aplenty for India in the ODI series. One of the best batsmen of this generation, Root has ample experience playing in Indian conditions and will be looking to impress with the bat in the upcoming series.
IND vs ENG Key Players
IND - Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, and Arshdeep Singh will be the key players for India.
IND vs ENG Weather And Pitch Report:
The match will be played in Nagpur and the weather report is very promising. There is no prediction for rain in Nagpur on the match day. The temperature will be in the early 30s in the first half of the game and will drop into the 20s after the sunset.
Conclusion:
With the T20I series done and dusted, the focus now shifts to the ODIs. Both India and England will be keen to win the upcoming series in order to go to the Champions Trophy with the winning momentum.
A good performance in the series will definitely enhance the confidence of the teams. Both sides will be keen to start the series on a winning note.
