India turn to seniors for Edgbaston ODI

3 min read

India begin the ODI series at Edgbaston with an experienced side after a difficult T20I leg that ended 4-0 to England and cost them the world No.1 T20 ranking. Shubman Gill leads as captain and arrives in form after scoring 238 runs including 154 against Afghanistan, while Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli return to bolster the top order and Jasprit Bumrah returns to the attack. Bowling depth remains a concern, with Shivam Dube a forced pick and Washington Sundar and Axar Patel needing form, making early senior contributions essential to salvage the tour.
