India are set to start the ODI series against England, and the return of two senior stars has brought new excitement after a tough T20I series.
India struggled in the T20I series, but the ODI team is now stronger and more experienced. Can the returning senior players turn things around for India?
Former assistant coach Abhishek Nayar said he’s excited to see Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli back, and their return has raised hopes for the first ODI.
Nayar said that whenever Rohit and Kohli play, everyone wonders what special performance they will deliver this time.
Nayar pointed out that Rohit handles short balls well, which troubled India in the T20Is. His aggressive batting could make England change their tactics.
Kohli’s skill at handling pressure and controlling an ODI innings can boost India’s middle order. His experience can also help younger batters play more freely.
After India’s tough T20I loss, all attention is on Rohit and Kohli in Birmingham. Can they deliver another big performance with the bat?
