India has made a big change. The Indian squad is totally different from the T20 squad. Varun Chakravarthy is also included in the Indian squad, who destroyed England batters in the previous T20 series and became a key player in winning a series against England. It is very sure now that Varun Chakravarthy will be one among in playing 11.
India has other options for spin like Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja etc. But India added varun Chakravarthy into squad
Why did India add Varun Chakravarthy into the squad after having spin options?.
This selection says that it’s very sure Varun Chakravarthy will be one among playing 11.
Why India has bought Varun Chakravarthy to the ODI squad?
Varun Chakravarthy who took massive wickets in the previous T20 series. He played a major role in winning T20 series against England. Varun Chakravarthy is still in the form. With the intention to win ODI series and to win all the 3 ODI matches against England. India bought Varun Chakravarthy into the squad.
If Varun Chakravarthy plays better in the ODI series and gives high value performance, there are lot of chances that Axar Patel might not included or might be ruled out of Champions trophy 2025.
To have a luxurious bowling India may require 3 spinners and 3 seamers. Spin includes Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy instead of Axar Patel sounds good. And when comes to seam Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami, Hardik Pandya will be better. We can expect this bowling combination may work out for India.
In batting, it is better when KL Rahul plays instead of Rishabh Pant. The batting line includes Rohit Sharma , Shubhman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, this batting combination may be better to beat England. We all hope that this playing 11 may work out for India.
When we see the squads on paper, Indian playing 11 looks so better because well played and has given best performance. It’s not about the T20 because the squad is totally different, it’s about ODI and test. India has given the best performance. Even we have seen England’s performance in T20 against India. They have struggled a lot. No word about how they struggled in Varun Chakravarthy’s spell. There was no fun or crazy at all as India won a 4-0 lead. When compared to England India looks so balanced. At least we expect these 3 ODI matches, England will be giving a tough competition and brings up great entertainment to the cricket lovers.
Since playing 11 of England’s squad has announced. RCBs three key players are also in the list. All the RCB fans are expecting to play well at least in the ODI series. India’s win against England is a pleasure thing along with these three RCB players good performance.
