ENG vs IND 1st ODI Dream11 Team Prediction

ENG vs IND Match Preview

After winning the T20I series, India now shift their focus to the ODIs. They were fantastic in the shorter format and thrashed the hosts in the first two games. Even though they lost the final T20I, they almost created history and chased a target of 216. India have revamped their strategy in T20 cricket and are playing more aggressively. It will be interesting to see if they follow the same approach in ODIs. Shikhar Dhawan will be back in the team for India for ODIs.

England danced to the tunes of Indian bowlers in the T20I series and the challenge will be stiffer in ODIs. However, they will be boosted by the return of Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow, that should make up for a cracking encounter between the two teams.

Virat Kohli

Kohli has been under fire due to his poor form but ODI is a format where he plays his best. This is a great opportunity for Virat Kohli to came to back to form and silence his critics. Virat Kohli is a solid pick for the 1^st ODI.

Joe Root

Joe Root has been in staggering form in the last two years. He has 11 Test hundreds since 2021. Given the form he is in, he is expected to do well in the ODIs as well. Root is also a top pick for our fantasy team.

Jonny Bairstow

Bairstow was unstoppable in the Test match at Edgbaston and scored back to back centuries in the game. He is a match winner of his day and this is a format where he will feel more comfortable. He is also a top pick.

Jasprit Bumrah

Bumrah is India’s best bowler and has to be in our fantasy team. 10 overs from Bumrah will be critical in deciding the outcome of the match.
