SQUAD ANALYSIS:
India
India will head to this tour from a 0-3 loss in their last ODI assignment against New Zealand. The men in blue suffered a whitewash in the 50-over format and did not win any of their last 5 matches since winning 5 straight matches prior. The pressure is on for Virat Kohli as he has to lead the bruised men after the humiliating result last time. It will also be his first ODI of the three-match series at home. Rohit Sharma’s injury crippled the team and Mayank Agarwal as a replacement would need to make some extra efforts in the company of Shikhar Dhawan, who will return from injury. KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer have been in good form and a home soil advantage will give them a more aggressive spirit to win. Shardul Thakur has been having a poor economy rate and this match will test his improvement.
Possible XI: Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (WK), Manish Pandey, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah
