Birmingham |
After a shameful defeat in the T20 series against England, the Indian cricket team will now enter the three-match ODI series with the intention of settling the score. The first match of this important series is scheduled to be played on July 14 at the Edgbaston Cricket Stadium in Birmingham.
The Indian team will want to make a spectacular and victorious start to the series by winning this match. Forgetting the pain of the defeat in the T20 format, Team India will try its best to establish its dominance in the ODI format.
IND vs ENG: Team India to Seek Revenge for T20 Loss
Looking at the history of ODI cricket, the Indian team has always had an upper hand against England. A total of 110 One Day International matches have been played between the two countries so far, in which Team India has registered a splendid victory in 61 matches.
Meanwhile, the England team has managed to win only 44 matches. Additionally, two matches ended in a tie, while three matches had no result. These figures show that India's performance in the ODI format has dominated England.
How is the Record on English Soil?
However, when it comes to playing in England, the contest becomes a bit tougher. India has played a total of 44 ODI matches in England so far. Out of these, the team has won 18 matches, while facing defeat in 23 encounters. One match was a tie, and two matches had no result.
Hoping for a Better Performance from Batsmen
The performance of the Indian batsmen during the T20 series was quite disappointing. In view of this, a better and more responsible performance is expected from Team India's batsmen in the ODI series.
Young batsman Shubman Gill will be seen handling the command of the ODI team. The good news for the team is the return of experienced batsmen Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, which makes the Indian batting order look much more balanced and strong.
Role of Middle Order and All-rounders
The crucial responsibility of the team's middle order will be on the shoulders of players like Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, and Axar Patel. Meanwhile, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, and Nitish Kumar Reddy will be seen playing the role of all-rounders in the team, who can contribute with both bat and ball.
Bumrah's Return Strengthens Bowling
Pacer Jasprit Bumrah has returned to the ODI team after a long time and will lead the Indian bowling attack. His experience and skill will be very important for the team.
To support Bumrah, young fast bowlers like Prasidh Krishna, Arshdeep Singh, Prince Yadav, and Gurnoor Brar have been selected in the team. However, Harshit has been ruled out of the ODI series as well due to injury. The spin department will be handled by Kuldeep Yadav and Ravi Bishnoi, while Varun Chakravarthy is also not part of this series due to injury.
