IND vs ENG Playing-11: Suspense on Virat Kohli's playing in the first ODI against England, this may be the playing-11 of both the teams

Posted on 12th Jul 2022 by rohit kumar

After the T20 series between India and England, the ODI series will start today. The first match will start at the Oval ground at 5.30 pm. India made a tremendous comeback in the T20I series after losing the Test match and winning the series 2-1. Now Team India will face the challenge of winning the three-match ODI series from England. However, all the focus is on the T20 World Cup. Despite this, this series is very important for batsmen like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, and Shikhar Dhawan.

 

 

India has won 10 ODIs against England so far, but has won only three series on English soil (including a 1-1 draw in 1986, in which India was declared winners). . The last time they won was a 3-1 victory in England was eight years ago in 2014.

England has won eight series against India so far. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma's eyes will be on winning the series. In this series, the Indian batsmen will avoid hitting big shots from the very first ball, but Indian captain Rohit Sharma believes that the team should maintain its aggressive stance.

Rohit said there will be some changes in the team

 

England has completely changed the way we play ODI cricket over the years with its aggressive game. The team got its advantage by winning the 2019 World Cup. Looking at the T20 World Cup to be held in Australia this year, Rohit says that every match of the team will now be important in the white-ball format.

 

After the third T20 against England, he said that all matches are important for us. We cannot play thinking that ODIs are not a priority, but we have to keep in mind the workload of each player. We will make some changes, but we aim to win the match.

 

This series will be crucial for a player like Shikhar Dhawan, who is representing India only in the ODI format, as he has to lead the team on the upcoming tour of the West Indies. The left-handed batsman has consistently performed well even after getting limited opportunities at the international level.

 

Eyes will be on Virat's bat

 

Waiting for Virat Kohli to return to the rhythm from this series. On this tour too, runs have not come off his bat in Tests and T20s. Given the new approach of the team, they will be under pressure to score runs from the first ball, but being the one-day format, they will also have a little more time to regain their momentum. However, a groin injury has raised questions about his playing. Now it remains to be seen whether he remains available for the match or not.

 

In the T20 match on Sunday, Virat hit a brilliant four and a six in his six-ball innings, but he had to bear the brunt of adopting a more aggressive approach. Virat's record against England has been excellent. He has scored 1307 runs in 33 matches at an average of 45.06, which includes three centuries and nine half-centuries. 122 is his highest score against England.

 

Butler would like to find his rhythm

 

This will be Jos Buttler's first ODI series as England's regular captain after the retirement of Eoin Morgan. England would like to remove the disappointment of the T20 series here. The captain himself would also like to put the poor performance behind him and regain momentum. However, the team will get a lot of strength with the arrival of legends like Ben Stokes, Joe Root, and Jonny Bairstow. Root and Bairstow's record against India in ODIs is excellent.
