The ODI series between England and India starts today. Having lost the T20 series 2-1, India is coming out to win the ODI series at least. This will be the last series of legendary fast bowler Jhulan Goswami. The player will complete the game with the third ODI at Lord’s on 24th of this month. Therefore, the Indian team also aims to give Goswami the send-off he deserves.

The problem was that in the T20 series, apart from Smriti Mandana and Harmanpreet Kaur, there was no other reliable player in the Indian batting line-up. Another great player, Jamima Rodrigues, was ruled out due to injury, which is a big blow for India. Shafali Verma is yet to overcome his backfoot weakness. India’s batting line-up was also not right. Dylan Hemalatha, who has not performed impressively in any format so far, was considered at number three and KP Navgire, who has been performing brilliantly in the top order in domestic cricket, was dropped in the lower order and then not considered.
India is a bit more secure when it comes to ODIs, with the addition of players like Yastika Bhatia and Sabbineni Meghna in the squad, the batting strength is a bit stronger. Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandana, Sabbineni Meghan, Harmanpreet Kaur, Yastika Bhatia, Sneh Rana, Deepti Sharma, Pooja Vastrakar, Jhulan Goswami, Rajeshwari Gaekwad and Renuka Singh. This is the team.
