The Indian team started the 3 -match ODI series on Thursday defeating England by 4 wickets. Before the Champions Trophy, India has 2 more matches to take stock of the preparations. In these 2 matches, the team will try to try all their options. In such a situation, there may be 2 changes in the playing 11 of the Indian team in Cuttack on Sunday.
1 change in Team India’s playing 11 may be in batting and second bowling. Batting changes are certain. Virat Kohli did not play the first ODI due to knee discomfort. His return to the second ODI is scheduled. Shreyas Iyer, who scored a fifties in Nagpur, revealed after the match that if Kohli was available, he would not have been in playing 11.
Yashasvi Jaiswal made his debut when Virat Kohli was not there. His performance was nothing special. From Shreyas Iyer’s words, it seemed that Rohit Sharma was liked with a famous opening. Shubman Gill would be at number 3 and Virat Kohli at number 4. One reason for this is coach Gautam Gambhir, who likes Left and Right Hand Combination. The kind of batting Shreyas Iyer in Nagpur is difficult to keep them out of playing 11. In such a situation, Kohli’s return may be the place of Jaiswal.
The Indian team has to try all their options before the Champions Trophy. In such a situation, there can be a change in bowling. Arshdeep Singh may get a chance in place of Harshit Rana. Jaspreet Bumrah’s fitness report has not yet come. In such a situation, two matches can be given to Arshdeep and Rana. Apart from this, Kuldeep Yadav has returned from injury. In such a situation, they can also get a chance in other ODIs.
