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.

Axar Patel and India fielding coach T Dilip lavished praise on Yashasvi Jaiswal for his moment of brilliance in the field in his ODI debut for the Men in Blue against England in the series opener. Towards the end of the powerplay, England stood in a comfortable position at 75/1, with Ben Duckett looking to open his arms to maintain a healthy run rate. India needed a breakthrough, and Harshit Rana took the onus of finding the breakthrough. He lured Duckett into mistiming his shot, and the ball continued to travel swiftly in the open space.

Shreyas Iyer truly made his intent clear as he smashed a quick-fire fifty in India's 4-wicket victory against England during the 1st ODI on Thursday. The batter, who came out to play at the No. 4 slot, was nearly benched for the series opener but an injury to Virat Kohli paved the way for his place in the team. After the end of the match, Iyer shared a fiery post on social media, speaking his mind as he made a memorable return to the national team.

India mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy is expected to make his ODI debut in the series opener against England on Thursday. Chakravarthy was initially not part of the squad, and was only added to the team after impressing in the five-match T20I series against England.

India's Test and ODI captain Rohit Sharma has struggled with the bat and captaincy in recent times. During this phase, the right-handed batter failed to play any noticeable knock and the team's results also landed against him, especially in Test cricket. Be it India's Test series against New Zealand at home or the marquee Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, none of the contests saw Rohit living up the expectations in both the departments. Given he is nearing 38, there is uncertainity about Rohit's future in international cricket as well. He called time on his T20I career last year, but remains active in ODIs and Tests.

Abhishek Sharma smashed a stunning 54-ball 135 in the fifth and final T20I between India and England, finishing as the top run-scorer of the series by a mile. In the process, Abhishek overtook India's ODI vice-captain and Shubman Gill's record of the highest individual T20I score by an Indian. Abhishek's superb form adds another opening contender for India in limited overs cricket, following the good form of Yashasvi Jaiswal in Test cricket. With Jaiswal and Abhishek churning out top performances, Gill is in a scramble for a spot at the top of the order, but the 25-year-old asserted that there is no "toxic competition" between the three.
