IND vs ENG / Rohit Sharma flopped, Virat Kohli out, still good news for Team India

IND vs ENG: Virat Kohli could not play the first ODI against England due to knee pain. At the same time, captain Rohit Sharma's flop performance continues. The Champions Trophy is near and in such a situation, there is news of relief for Team India. There are still two matches left in the ODI series, and it will not be difficult for Rohit and Kohli to return to form.

New balance in Team India's victory

Earlier, the responsibility of Team India's victory used to be mainly on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. If even one of these players performed well, the team would win, otherwise defeat was considered certain. But now this perception is changing. Despite Virat Kohli being out and Rohit Sharma's struggle, Team India is performing brilliantly. The reason for this is that other players have understood their responsibility well and are succeeding in fulfilling it.

Impressive performance of Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer

Shubman Gill played a very restrained and effective innings against England. Understanding the difference between T20 and ODI cricket, he showed balance in his batting. Although he missed the century, his innings laid a strong foundation for the team. On the other hand, Shreyas Iyer also batted aggressively at crucial times and contributed to taking the team forward.

Axar Patel's all-round performance

Axar Patel also impressed everyone with his batting. He scored 52 runs off 47 balls, which included 6 fours and 1 six. His innings gave the team the necessary momentum. Although KL Rahul did not live up to expectations, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja played an important role in India's victory by performing brilliantly.

Way forward and preparation for the Champions Trophy

When the rest of Team India is performing so well and if Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli also return to their form, it will be difficult for any team to defeat India. This ODI series is just a beginning, but it indicates that Team India can become a strong contender to win the Champions Trophy.
