India vs England
IND vs Eng: All teams are preparing for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. In this sequence, India and England are ready to face each other in the ODI series before the ICC tournament. Team India will go on playing ODIs after about 6 months. This will be Team India’s first ODI series after losing the ODI series on Sri Lanka tour in September last year. In this series, the Indian team will win the Champions Trophy with a loud courage. However, it will not be easy for the Indian team to overcome England’s challenge as Jasprit Bumrah is almost impossible to play in all three matches. In such a situation, the whole of Team India’s fast bowling will be on the shoulders of Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Shami, who is returning to ODI after 15 months.
The second major problem in front of India will be with the wicketkeeper-batsman. Before the first match of the ODI series, the Indian team reached Nagpur practice on February 4, while wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant batted more while KL Rahul tried more in wicketkeeping. In such a situation, the decision to choose either of the two will be very difficult for the playing XI. Pant has the ability to reverse the match at any time with batting, while Rahul is a more reliable batsman in this format.
Both wicketkeepers practiced fiercely
Pant and KL sweated fiercely during practice. However, Rahul was seen working more hard during this time. He also practiced wicketkeeping with batting. Pant’s entire focus was on batting. He was practicing playing big shots against spinners. However, KL’s wicketkeeping practice felt that he is a strong contender to get a place in the playing XI. Anyway, Pant has not been able to show the ability in ODIs till now, for which he is known. In such a situation, KL is more likely to get a chance. Rahul had scored 452 runs in the 2023 ODI World Cup and also did wicketkeeping. However, however, Pant was not available for selection. He was recovering from a car accident injury. In India’s last ODI series against Sri Lanka, Rahul scored a total of 31 runs with wicketkeeping in the first two matches. Pant played the third match but could only score 6 runs.
