IND vs ENG 1st ODI Match Details
India and England are set to meet in the first ODI of a three-match series on the England tour of India in Pune on 23 March. Both sides are without their respective top bowlers. While Bumrah is not playing for India, an injured Joffra Archer will be rested by England.
Team India Report
India are likely to field the following eleven players in the first ODI: Virat Kohli (Capt), Rohit Sharma (vc), Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Hardik, Rishabh Pant (wk), Washington Sundar, Y Chahal, Md Siraj, Shardul Thakur, Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Team England Report
England’s likely XI for the first ODI will probably include the following players: Morgan (capt), Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Chris Jordan, Moeen Ali, Adil Rashid, Sam Curran, Mark Wood
Between Sam Curran and Washington Sundar, we opted for Curran as an allrounder option, as we don’t expect spin-friendly conditions at Pune. Bhuvaneshwar Kumar and Mark Wood were our top bowling choices after their good showing in the T20I series. The last bowling choice was Y Chahal who finds favour over Rashid in Indian conditions.
Our final Dream 11 reads as follows: Sharma, Kohli, Bairstow, Roy, Pant, Stokes, Hardik, Curran, Kumar, Wood, and Chahal.
