First ODI between India and England: The Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur will host the first ODI between India and England. Jos Buttler, the captain of England, was selected to bat first after winning the toss.
However, Virat Kohli’s decision to miss this game due to a knee injury shocked everyone. Harshit Rana and Yashasvi Jaiswal will be making their debuts as they get their caps. Jaiswal received the hat from Gautam Gambhir, while Harshit Rana received it from great bowler Mohammed Shami.
England’s starting lineup includes Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood, Philip Salt (wk), Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (c), and Ben Duckett.
India’s starting lineup is Mohammed Shami, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Rohit Sharma (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shubman Gill (vc).
Deep Dasgupta: “This venue hasn’t historically produced many high scores. Our last ODI at this location was in 2019. The terrain is large, with 69 meters to my right and 68 meters to my left. 75M is straight. Speaking of the pitch, what do you think of this surface? It’s red earth.
Graeme Swann: “This pitch seems to be excellent for batting, to be honest. Because it is the red dirt pitch, it is ideal for a one-day game. It’s very hard, and I’m going to tap here after just gazing down on a length. I can see some grass, but it’s very difficult. Although there are a few cracks here and there, the hitters won’t be bothered by them.
