With Virat Kohli sidelined due to injury, Team India is looking to make early inroads against England in the first ODI in Nagpur. Openers Ben Duckett and Phil Salt have stepped up for the visitors, aiming to provide a solid start, while the Indian bowlers are focused on grabbing quick wickets to gain an early advantage.
England captain Jos Buttler won the toss and decided to bat first in the opening clash of the three-match series. At the toss, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma confirmed Kohli’s absence, a big blow for the hosts. However, the match brings a fresh opportunity as youngsters Yashasvi Jaiswal and Harshit Rana make their ODI debuts, adding excitement to India’s playing XI.
