The Men in Blue skipper Rohit Sharma will open the innings alongside Shikhar Dhawan, who has been scoring runs consistently for India in the ODI format. However, the pressure is just piling on Virat Kohli to come up with a good score. His string of poor scores is a case of concern for the team management.

When it comes to the batting order, players just pick themselves. Suryakumar Yadav will be picked ahead of Shreyas Iyer. He has made the middle order and number four his own with a scintillating hundred in the third T20 on Sunday.

England vs India ODI series schedule:

1st ODI: England v India, Tuesday 12 July, Kia Oval
2nd ODI: England v India, Thursday 14 July, Lord’s
3rd ODI: England v India, Sunday 17 July, Emirates Old Trafford

Rishabh Pant is the obvious choice as the wicket-keeper batter in the team. However, his batting position may also depend on the match situation. Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja are the two all-rounders in the team. Both the players are in decent form with both the bat and ball.

There is no doubt regarding the specialist spinner in India playing XI as well. Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is set to feature once again ahead of Axar Patel.

If any, the team management will have a serious look at the pace bowling unit, especially the third specialist pacer. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami are going to spearhead India’s attack. It could be a toss up between Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna. The latter may be slightly ahead due to his sheer pace.
