India vs england 1st odi: The Indian team will play a three -match ODI series against England before the ICC Champions Trophy, which starts on February 19. This series is going to be very important for the Indian team. Because before this series, the Indian team can focus on their combination. India’s problems about team combination are not one or two, but many more. Who should be kept as a wicketkeeper, how many spinners will be able to get Team India, what will be fit Jasprit Bumrah, who will play on number-4, there are many questions that have to find captain Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir.
When India will enter the first match of the series against England in Nagpur, it will be its seventh ODI after the ICC World Cup. After the ODI World Cup, India played the series of three ODIs first against South Africa and then Sri Lanka. India won 2–1 against South Africa, while it lost 0–2 against Sri Lanka. In such a situation, this difference becomes very important.
The average score of the first innings in Nagpur is 288, but the last ODI on this ground took place six years ago, in such a situation, the possibility of finding something more than the figures decreases considerably. India has won their last three matches on this venue, in which two matches have come chasing the target.
India’s opening pair for the ODI series against England is almost certain. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill will be seen starting the innings. At the same time, Virat Kohli is going to be seen on Nabar-3. Shreyas Iyer No-4 contender is fixed. It would be fun to see who KL gets place in Rahul and Rishabh Pant, or the team management goes with both the players. At the same time, Warishangton Beautiful Spin brings the option of bowling, so it is more likely to go with Team India Sundar in place of KL Rahul.
At the same time, who will be part of the playing XI in Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel, it will be the most fun. Hardir Pandya is fixed at number-six. At the same time, the place of Mohammed Shami is also decided. It will be seen whether Harshit Rana gets a chance or Arshadeep is able to make a place.
If we talk about the record, India and England have played 107 ODIs, in which India won 58 and England has won 44 – two matches were on par and three ended without any conclusion. In India, both sides have clashed in 52 matches, in which India won 34 and England has won 17, one match was on par.
India has been very successful at Jamatha’s VCA Stadium, it has won four of the six matches played here. However, he has played only three ODIs in 2024, in which two matches have been lost while one match has ended on par. While the record is in favor of the record hosts, the stadium pitch has been under the scope of investigation twice, which the ICC has declared bad on two occasions. England is playing here after a few years, so this match promises to be exciting.
India’s possible playing XI: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill (Vice -captain), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Washington Sundar, Hardik Pandya, Akshar Patel/Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami.
