After a thrilling T20I series, India and England shift their focus to the 50-over format in a three-match series that pits the world's two best men's ODI teams against one another.

Overview

India v England, 1st ODI
Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune
Tuesday, 23 March; 01.30pm local time, 08.00am GMT

India will hope to avoid losing another series opener, having tasted defeat in the first match of both the Tests and the T20Is against England. The hosts showed remarkable resilience to come back from the deficit to win each of those series.

A winning start for India will be particularly important as they can climb from second to top spot on the ICC Men's ODI rankings if they beat England 3-0.

That will be easier said than done. England, sitting atop the Men's ODI rankings and world champions after so thrillingly winning the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019, will make for stern opposition.

However, the visitors will be missing key personnel for the series. Jofra Archer has been deemed unfit with an elbow injury, while Joe Root, the Test captain and their crucial No.3, also sits out. Mark Wood is expected to replace Archer and lead the attack against India, with fellow-quick Reece Topley and leg-spinner Matt Parkinson also named in the squad.

India are expected to continue with the tried-and-trusted opening pair of Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma. However, there could be changes in the pipeline lower down the order, with Suryakumar Yadav, Prasidh Krishna, and Krunal Pandya all named in the squad following impressive performances in the domestic circuit.

Suryakumar, in fact, will be hopeful of making his ODI debut, having impressed after being handed his international debut in the T20Is, claiming the Player of the Match award in the fourth T20I.

For both teams, the series offers a key opportunity to pick up points in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League. England currently sit third on the rankings with 30 points but can move to the top by winning two ODIs against India.

India sit 10th with nine points and will be intent on making up for lost ground.

Three potential ODI debutants in the squad.

Remember Last Time

The last time India faced England in an ODI was during the World Cup in 2019 in Edgbaston. Rohit Sharma’s century went in vain on that occasion as Jonny Bairstow's thrilling knock of 111 propelled England to a 31-run victory. India went on to top the group stages, but England went on to famously lift the trophy.

Squads

India
Virat Kohli (Captain), Rohit Sharma (vice-captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), KL Rahul (wicket-keeper), Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Krunal Pandya, Washington Sundar, T Natarajan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Md. Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Shardul Thakur.

England
Eoin Morgan (c), Moeen Ali, Jonathan Bairstow, Sam Billings, Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Tom Curran, Liam Livingstone, Matt Parkinson, Adil Rashid, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, Reece Topley, Mark Wood

What they said

Virat Kohli, India captain: "As far as the opening combination is concerned, Shikhar and Rohit will definitely start. When it comes to one-day cricket I don't think there's any issues or doubts over Rohit or Shikhar opening together. They have been amazing for us for the past few years."

Chris Silverwood, England coach, on Jofra Archer: "We'll make sure that he's got every resource around him that we can and get to the bottom of what's going on, and hopefully get him back fighting fit for the future for England."

Very weak bowling line up there by india, they need to put up 400 to have a chance :ashwin😝😝😜
 
What has krunal pandya done to get a place in the ODI team? Pathetíc and clueless team selection once again

Dhawan is 36 years old. Not sure what long term value he adds to the team now.

Don't think he is good enough to last till CWC '23. If he isn't good enough to last till next WC, what's the point in keeping him in the team?
 
Dhawan has enough juice in the tank to play the 2023 World Cup. He is still very fit and he only plays one format now.
 
Pathetic batting yet again by Dhawan.

He must have some of Kohli's compromising pics to keep getting picked despite being totally past it.
 
None of the players on either side seem interested in playing this pointless match.
 
India still seem happy to play their style of keeping wickets till the last 10 overs, whilst England will definitely go hard from the start.

Not sure if he will last in the team till 2023 but he was missed during the SF last World Cup. Could have made a massive difference.
 
Is it just me or do ODIs seem incredibly boring nowadays..

It feels like the most boring of the three formats.

ODI cricket peak was 90s to mid 2000s. Test cricket was boring in the late 2000s and early 2010s and T20Is overtook ODIs during that period.

Test cricket has been brilliant since 2015 onwards, probably the best period of Test cricket since the 80s.

T20Is are at their peak at the moment whilst ODIs are in decline, although the 2019 World Cup was an exception. It was one of best World Cups ever.
 
Dhawan playing for himself ,he know very well if he is not perform in this series then he might be dropped for all format.once he dropped from odi team it's very very hard to COMEBACK bcz lots of openers waiting for their chances
 
ODI is boring today because Pakistan is not playing at present. Wait for Pakistan to play ODI against RSA without its IPL stars.

And many of those claims they don't like any format other than test cricket and they will keep moaning in LOI discussion threads.:P
 
I can see India going on to score something big with such a cautious start... That's what the pair of Dhawan and Sharma has provided over the years..
 
I can see this game going the Wankhede 2020 (against Aus) way....

We will huff and puff our way to 260-280 and England will chase it in a canter losing 0 of 1 wicket.

Honestly I still vividly remember even the iconic ODIs we lost in the 2000s, like the one where Sachin scored 175 in a losing cause at Hyderabad where Praveen Kumar refused to dive and got run out in the last ball. The matches against Pakistan used to be iconic. Still remember Tendulkar's one handed jumping catch at the long on boundary off the bat of a very dangerous Inzamam who was threatening to finish the game. The 2003 WC was one of the best memories for me as a cricket fan, just the vibe of that world cup in South Africa was very exciting.

Nowadays I don't remember any ODI whether we win or lose. Everything seems to be much of a muchness.

Dont you remember the infamous semi final and Guptil running MS Dhoni out?
 
God our ODI team is absolutely garbage. So so unwatchable! :facepalm:

Needs a complete overhaul starting with Dhawan at the top.

Now Rohit's gone.

I'm talking about bilateral ODIs. Even those used to be iconic in the past. Nowadays I don't see the point of them as the advent of T20 cricket and T20 leagues have made them redundant.
 
Bad approach.
This is not how odi should be played in 2021. Need more attacking shots in the powerplay.
Rohit starts too slow even though he has the ability to go after the ball from ball one. Selfish approach.

Nah, it's not just you. The format has long been redundant. There's not much point in continuing to schedule bilateral series without any context.

I thought that an ODI league was in the works. Although I'm not sure what it would achieve given we have the world cup to give context.
 
I dont know what is more boring, Indian batting or the match commentary ( Gavaskar, Agarkar, Sivaramakrishnan, Murali Kartik, Deep Das Gupta )

No.. I've been feeling this way about ODI cricket for some years now. Maybe it's just me but with the advent of T20 cricket and Test cricket becoming very result oriented in the past few years, ODI cricket seems to be caught in a limbo unlike the other two formats.
 
ODI cricket is much closer to test format than T20s. Close catching fielders, slips, nagging line and length, batsmen trying to see off the new ball etc. makes it an intriguing watch.

T20s is all about see the ball and hit the ball.

Obviously commentary. Players can accelerate and make the match exciting any time they want but with our commentators it is never going to happen. Kartik is the most boring commentator ever. :inti
 
Rohit Sharma has to be slowest opener going around. I think he is even slower than Imam in the powerplay.

Calm down. No need to get triggered. It's just an opinion and as far as I know you don't have to be an expert to have opinions. And from what I have seen so far krunal pandya doesn't belong at this level.
 
Mobashir said:

But he has the acceleration in the end which Imam does not. He started slowly even on that innings where he scored 264. His last 150 runs came in just 45 odd balls if I recall.
 
Really impress with them, how they assess the condition and been conservative to keep wicket and then accelerate when spinner came, England looks bit tired, maybe bubble getting to some of there players.
 
Moeen Ali averages 15.36 with the bat and 118.15 with the ball in 20 ODIs since the start of 2019.
 
Dhawan has already been dropped twice in this innings. Even England doesn't want him to be dismissed.
 
So so tired of watching the same old top 3 hogging 40 overs in useless bilaterals and then leaving us at 20/3 with everything to do for 4-7 in a big game... :shezzy2
 
If rohit and kohli failed in next 2 matches and babar azam hit 1 or 2 hundreds in rsa then he will surely be number 1 ranking batsmen as he only need 33 points
 
Pant should play in ODI's as well in place of KL Rahul or anyone else but he should definitely play.
 
Good knock from Dhawan. He is a very good ODI player and proving once again.

91*(95)
 
A lot of ageism fueled propaganda against Dhawan but he continues to prove his destractors wrong. Clearly still the best ODI opener in Asia after the great Rohit Sharma.
