After winning the T20I series 4-1, India now turns its attention to the three-match ODI series against England, starting on February 6, 2025, in Nagpur.

Rohit Sharma will lead the team, with Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, and Shreyas Iyer strengthening the batting lineup. KL Rahul will handle the wicketkeeping responsibilities, while Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, and Axar Patel provide balance with their all-round abilities. The bowling department includes Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy.

Jos Buttler-led England is looking to make a comeback after losing the T20I series. Key batters for their side are Phil Salt, Joe Root, and Harry Brook, whereas Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, and Adil Rashid will manage the bowling line-up. The ICC Champions Trophy is near, and both teams need this series to try out their strategies and get momentum going.
