Virat Kohli Returns As Rohit Sharma Gives Strange Explanation Behind Two Changes For 2nd ODI

India captain Rohit Sharma announced two big changes for the second ODI against England as the tourists won the toss and opted to bat first in Cuttack on Sunday. Virat Kohli marked his much-anticipated return to the team's playing XI after missing the series opener due to a knee injury. It was Shreyas Iyer who had replaced him in the team during the last match but the middle-order batter retained his place in the team after hitting an explosive half-century. It was Yashasvi Jaiswal who was dropped to make space for Kohli in the playing XI this time.

Team India vice-captain Shubman Gill had an incredible day in the outfield in the second ODI between India and England at Cuttack. Gill took as many as three catches during England's batting, but the pick of the bunch was a stunning effort to dismiss Harry Brook.

However, Gill had to run a fair distance backwards before completing a diving catch, sending the crowd into raptures.

The barren run of skipper Rohit Sharma and the selection conundrum that Virat Kohli's possible return poses are the towering obstacles in India's quest for a series win against England.

After an impactful half-century in the first ODI against England, Shreyas Iyer could see himself being benched for the 2nd ODI on Sunday. Iyer himself had revealed that his place in the playing Xi was only confirmed after Virat Kohli missed out on the series opener due to a knee injury. With Kohli now fit for the second match, it seems like Iyer would be the man to be sacrificed by head coach Gautam Gambhir. India's batting coach Sitanshu Kotak was also asked about Iyer's selection issue in the pre-match press conference but he decided to duck the question, putting the onus on head coach Gautam Gambhir and skipper Rohit Sharma.
