Squad for England ODI's: Virat Kohli(C), Rohit Sharma(VC), KL Rahul(WK), Shikhar Dhawan, Surya Kumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant(WK), Shubman Gill, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Bhuvneswar Kumar, Mohammad Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, T Natarajan, Shradul Thakur


India has released 18 members squad for upcoming ODI's. All the players have great success in recent time and interesting to see who can make into 11. 


India has lost their last series against Australia in Border Gavaskar Trophy(1-2).  There are no great performances of India from the tour. The only positives that India found in the series were the rise of All-Rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya. Hardik scored 210 runs in the series at an average of 105.0 and Jadeja scored 115 runs at an average of 57.50.


The bowling performances were below par in the series. The Bowling average of the entire team during the series was 57.05.


What can we expect from the Series:


Rohit Sharma is back into the squad after missing the previous ODI series. With the inclusion of Rohit, the strong opening pair of Dhawan-Rohit is back. With this kind of form, the Captain can deliver his best. It's impossible to change the top 3.


Coming to the Middle-order, Shreyas Iyer is the perfect option at No.4, but we have seen him struggling against the short balls in the Australian tour and scored 59 runs in 3 matches. I Hope, Iyer worked on that in VHT 2021 and scored 260 runs at an average of 86.66 in the 4 matches he played.


At No.5, the perfect sport for Wicket Keeper. It's the fighting spot for KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant. Pant has been on National duty for the last few months and considered as first choice WK in Test Cricket and T20's. It also depends on the form of Rahul.


The spots that are occupied by All-Rounders are no.6, no.7, and no.8. Hardik Pandya definitely takes the 6th position and has been brilliant with the bat in Australia tour.


Ravindra Jadeja's absence helped Krunal Pandya to sideline into the team. Apart from this, he deserves this spot after great VHT 2021. Playing as captain for Baroda, Pandya scored 388 runs at an average of 129.33 with 2 50's and 2 centuries. He also took 5 wickets with the ball. He can great all-round option for India in the upcoming series.


Shradul Thakur can take the no.8 spot as he is one of the emerging all-rounders of India in 2020. Since 2020, Thakur has taken 7 wickets in ODI and 20 wickets in T20 and become the leading wicket-taker for India in 2020.


Stat: Most Wickets for India in T20 since 2020 

20 - Shradul Thakur

10 - Yuzi Chahal

10 - Washington Sundar

8 - Jasprit Bumrah

7 - Navdeep Saini

6 - T Natarajan


With the return of Bhuvi, he can the first choice fast bowler and Natrajan/Siraj/Prasidh Krishna can make one spot. Krishna also has great VHT 2021 taking 14 wickets at an average of 22.21.


When a team playing in India, spin contributes a lot. But India spinners were not in great form since 2020. Stats of Indian spinners since 2020.


  Matches Wickets BBI Avg SR
Y Chahal 4 7 3/47 37.85 33.4
K Yadav 5 6 2/65 53.83 50.0
R Jadeja 9 7 2/44 67.42 75.4

My playing XI for Series:

Rohit Sharma
Shikhar Dhawan
Virat Kohli(C)
Shreyas Iyer
Rishabh Pant/ Rahul KL
Hardik Pandya
Krunal Pandya
Shradul Thakur
B Kumar
Chahal/Sundar
M Siraj/ Natarajan

Any suggestions are allowed, comment your playing XI

Players missing out:

Prithvi Shaw, Devdutt Padikkal, Ravikumar Samrath, Nitish Rana who has a great season of VHT 2021 are going to miss the series. I hope they are in the queue for Upcoming India matches.

Also, Bumrah missing the series due to marriage, Jadeja, Shami and Manish Pandey missed the series due to Injuries.

Have a great day, CricGo11
