India and England are ready to play their first ODI game for their all-format series. Both the teams recently played the T20I format, where India won the first two games by 50 and 49 runs. The Indian team is also eyeing a victory in this format. The first game will be on 12th July, Tuesday at 5:30 pm IST.
Rohit Sharma is returning as the captain of the Indian team after being the skipper in the T20I format. Sharma scored 24 runs in the first, 31, and 11 in the second and third T20I games. These runs aren’t that significant but if the skipper scores three-digit runs in a single innings he will break an international record held by Sachin Tendulkar, AB De Villiers, Saeed Anwar, and himself.Â
