England tour of India

IND vs ENG, 3rd ODI

Preview 

After clinching the T20I series, team India has gained an unassailable 2-0 lead in the ongoing three-match ODI series against England. The hosts have secured two clinical wins and have addressed some issues ahead of the upcoming edition of the Champions Trophy. 

Rohit Sharma returned to form in scintillating fashion with a splendid ton, and the spotlight will be on Virat Kohli in the third ODI, as he is coming on the back of a string of low scores across formats. 

The third ODI between these two slides will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on February 12. India might change their playing XI and will be keen to register a clean sweep. England has failed to capitalise in the series so far. They have had their share of moments but have struggled to utilise their chances fully. The three lions will look to avoid a whitewash.
