After a defeat in the T20 series on the England tour, the Indian team is now gearing up for a three-match ODI International series. The series begins on July 14, and all eyes will once again be on star batsman Virat Kohli, who is targeting a major record held by Sachin Tendulkar.
Will Kohli Break Sachin's Record?
Under the leadership of Shubman Gill, Team India is ready for the ODI series. The first match of the series will be played on July 14 at Edgbaston, starting at 3:30 PM IST. In this series, Virat Kohli has a fantastic opportunity to reach the top in terms of most runs scored against England.
The record for the most runs in ODI internationals between India and England is currently held by former captain MS Dhoni. He has scored 1546 runs in 48 matches. Former all-rounder Yuvraj Singh is second on this list with 1523 runs, while Sachin Tendulkar is in third place with 1455 runs.
Virat Kohli currently has 1397 runs and needs just 59 more to surpass Sachin. If Kohli manages to score 150 runs in this series, he will overtake both Dhoni and Yuvraj to claim the top spot on this list.

Ahead of the series, several members of the Indian team have been seen training in Birmingham. Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, and KL Rahul practiced their batting extensively in the net sessions.
In the bowling department, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, and Gurnoor Brar worked hard. The team also utilized the services of local net bowlers, including two spinners and a fast bowler, to prepare for various match situations. It is expected that the remaining members and the coaching staff will join the team soon.
