Forgetting the T20 defeat, preparing to counterattack in ODI, the command of Team India is now in the hands of Shubman Gill.
New Delhi . Leaving behind the disappointment of the T20 series, the Indian cricket team has now set its sights on the three-match ODI series against England. This time Team India will take the field under the leadership of new captain Shubman Gill. Shreyas Iyer took over the captaincy in the T20 series but in the ODI format, the responsibility of leadership has been handed over to Shubman Gill. In such a situation, this series will be a golden opportunity for the young captain to prove his leadership abilities and also a fight for honor for the Indian team.
The biggest feature of the ODI series is the return of the experienced players of the team. After a long time, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah will be seen together in the Indian ODI team. The presence of these three players has strengthened both the balance and confidence of the team. The combination of enthusiasm of young players and experience of experienced stars is making India a strong contender against England.
This three-match series will start from July 14. The first match will be played at Edgbaston ground in Birmingham, which will start at 3.30 pm Indian time. The second match will be played on July 16 at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff and the match will start at 5.30 pm. The third and decisive match of the series will be played on July 19 at the historic cricket ground Lord’s, which will start at 3:30 pm Indian time. This match will decide in whose name the series will be won.
In the Indian batting order, captain Shubhman Gill and Rohit Sharma will be expected to get a fast start while Virat Kohli will be the biggest strength in the middle order. Shreyas Iyer will play the role of vice captain and will strengthen the team. KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan can handle the responsibility of wicketkeeping. Whereas as all-rounders, Akshar Patel, Washington Sundar and Shivam Dubey will give additional balance to the team.
The return of Jasprit Bumrah in the bowling department is the biggest relief for the Indian team. Along with them, Arshdeep Singh and Prasidh Krishna will give edge to the fast bowling attack while Kuldeep Yadav will test the England batsmen with his spin. Young players like Gurnoor Brar and Prince Yadav have also been included in the team who can play an important role if needed.
The England team will also enter its home ground with full preparation. Under the leadership of captain Harry Brook, experienced players like Joe Root, Jos Buttler, Joffra Archer and Sam Curran are the strength of the team. In such a situation, this series is not going to be easy for India. To win in English conditions, one will have to perform well in all three departments – batting, bowling and fielding.
The biggest challenge before Shubman Gill will be to create coordination with the experienced players and lead the team to victory. If India is successful in winning the first match then it can have the upper hand in the entire series. The eyes of cricket lovers are now fixed on whether Shubman Gill, under his captaincy, along with veteran players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah, will be able to write a new history of victory on the soil of England.
