India vs England LIVE Telecast: After gaining an unassailable lead, India are all set to take on England in the third and final ODI on Wednesday in Ahmedabad. Rohit Sharma and co have already clinched the three-match series with 2-0 lead and will now play for a clean sweep. On the other hand, the visitors will look to end the series on a high, in order to get at least one victory before the beginning of the Champions Trophy.

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.

India batter Shreyas Iyer, who played match-winning knock in the first ODI against England, revealed that he wasn't part of the original playing XI, and was only included after Virat Kohli picked up an injury ahead of the match. Kohli sat out the series opener in Nagpur owing to a sore knee. Turning disaster into opportunity, Iyer scored a counter-attacking 59 after India had lost both openers for cheap. His 94-run stand with vice-captain Shubman Gill set the tone for India's four-wicket win.

India vs England LIVE Telecast: India will be squaring off against England in the second ODI of the three-match series on Sunday in Cuttack. Leading 1-0, the hosts will now aim to gain an unassailable lead in the series. 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.

Gautam Gambhir's 'Tactical Hint' Settles Shreyas Iyer vs Yashasvi Jaiswal Debate For 2nd ODI

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.

After registering a handsome four-wicket victory in the first match, India are all set to face England in the second ODI on Sunday in Cuttack. The opening match of three-match series was a dominant show from the hosts as they outplayed England in all the departments. Opting to bat first, England got bundled out for 248 after debutant pacer Harshit Rana and veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja scalped three wickets each.
