Today is a chance for Team India to make a comeback after losing two consecutive T20 series. There is a different captain and many different players in the ODI series against England. Instead of losing in T20, this team is coming after winning 3-0 against Afghanistan, so the confidence is also good. Also, if players like Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah are also in the team, the atmosphere will be different. According to Indian time, this match will be played from 3:30 pm. If the Indian team has to keep its preparations strong for the ODI World Cup, then all the players will not only have to play well but will also have to avenge the defeat in T20.
The England team will land on this ground in Birmingham with different confidence. The reason for this is that in May last year, he played an ODI match against West Indies in which he scored 400 runs. Then a big victory was registered by bowling out West Indies for 162 runs. In such a situation, it remains to be seen what kind of challenge the Indian team can give to England.
Rohit Sharma is sure to open with captain Shubman Gill. Virat Kohli will definitely be in the playing 11, along with him, the place of Shreyas Iyer at number 4 and wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul at number 5 is also considered confirmed. Jasprit Bumrah will lead the bowling and Arshdeep Singh and Prasidh Krishna can be used to support him. If the Indian team prefers spin all-rounders then both Axar Patel and Washington Sundar can play. Otherwise, Shivam Dubey may also get a chance in place of one of them. Kuldeep Yadav’s place among spin bowlers is considered almost certain. Ishan Kishan, Gurnoor Brar and Prince Yadav may have to wait for a while.
England has already announced its playing 11. Captain Harry Brook will be accompanied by Jacob Bethel, Ben Duckett, Joe Root and wicketkeeper Jos Buttler. The bowling includes Jofra Archer along with Josh Tongue, Sam Curran, Liam Dawson and Adil Rashid. Will Jacques is also part of the team.
This match will start at 3:30 pm Indian time and 11 am England time. The toss of the match will take place at 3 pm Indian time. This match to be played at Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham is the first match of the series, so it is very important for both the teams.
