India vs England 1st ODI LIVE: After the absence of Virat Kohli from the first ODI, India hunt for wickets against England in Nagpur. Ben Duckett and Phil Salt have started the proceedings for the visitors as they aim for a solid partnership.
Virat Kohli has not been picked for the first India vs England ODI on Thursday. The ODI is one of the only three matches that India will be playing ahead of the Champions Trophy 2025, that starts on February 19, and Kohli missing the game comes as a major blow for the Rohit Sharma-led team. Already the team is dealing with the injury of Jasprit Bumrah, with his availability in question. Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Shami are also coming back after a long injury break.
India vs England 1st ODI, LIVE Streaming: After claiming a brilliant win in the five-match T20I series, India are all set to face England in the three-match ODI series, with the first match to be played on Thursday in Nagpur. Led by Suryakumar Yadav, Team India thrashed England 4-1 in the T20Is and will now look to repeat the heroics under Rohit Sharma's captaincy in the ODIs. The ODI series against England is India's only tune-up tournament for the Champions Trophy, to be held in Pakistan and Dubai from February 19.
The next one month may very well decide Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma and star batter Virat Kohli's international career, according to a report. India play England in three ODIs starting Thursday, followed by Champions Trophy that begins on February 19. The duo has come under major scrutiny after their flop show with the bat during India's loss to Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. While Rohit scored just 31 runs in three matches, Kohli only managed 190 runs in nine innings, hitting a solitary century in nine innings. Rohit had missed the first Test due to the birth of his second chile, before opting out of the series decider in Sydney.
Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar on Wednesday reckoned the change in format and their past exploits in ODIs could bring glad tidings for the struggling duo of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the series against England and the Champions Trophy. Both Kohli and Rohit have struggled in recent times, including in the Test series against New Zealand at home and in the marquee Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, raising questions about their future in international cricket. While star batter Kohli was dismissed eights times to deliveries outside the off stump in Australia, the Indian captain managed just 31 runs in five innings and decided to drop himself for the final Test in Sydney.
Ahead of the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025, Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya recalled the two maximums slammed by stalwart batter Virat Kohli on the bowling of Pakistan's right-arm seamer Haris Rauf on the last two balls of the penultimate (19th) over during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 clash at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia. Virat Kohli played an unbeaten knock of 82 runs off 53 balls in the match in front of a crowd of 90,000 people. He scored two magnificent sixes on the last two balls of the penultimate over which was bowled by right-arm seamer Haris Rauf and brought the Men in Blue back into the game.
The dress rehearsal for the Champions Trophy starts for the Indian cricket team with the three-ODI series against England. There is a lot of intrigue surrounding the playing XI, especially with big concerns over availability of Jasprit Bumrah (picked for only the third ODI earlier) for the Champions Trophy. Mohammed Shami and Kuldeep Yadav are returning from injury while there is still no clarity over who will be the No. 1 wicketkeeper.
