India picked up a comprehensive in the first ODI against England. Having bowled out England for 248, India cruised to a win by four wickets. India would use the ODI series to test the players before the ICC Champions Trophy so they are likely to make a few changes to the winning combination. Virat Kohli did not play the first ODI due to a knee injury, but he should be back for the second ODI in Cuttack. India played Yashasvi Jaiswal in the first game, but he did not have a great outing. Jaiswal should make way for Virat Kohli.

Rishabh Pant was also not picked in the playing XI, and he should get a game in the series, but it is unlikely he will be tested before the third ODI, especially with KL Rahul almost a certainty for the Champions Trophy. There could be some changes in the bowling department. Ravindra Jadeja did well with the ball and picked three wickets, while Axar Patel performed well with the bat, scoring a 52. One of the two should make way for Varun Chakravarthy, who was added to the squad for the ODI series given his performances in the T20I series. Mohammed Shami could be rested for the match, with Arshdeep Singh getting an opportunity.

India's Likely XI For 2nd ODI Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill should open the innings, followed by Virat Kohli. Shreyas Iyer should bat at four and KL Rahul should follow him at five. Hardik Pandya should be the fast-bowling all-rounder. Ravindra Jadeja has almost cemented his place in the Champions Trophy XI after a great show in Nagpur so he may be rested for Varun Chakravarthy. Axar Patel should hold onto his place in the team. Kuldeep Yadav should be the specialist spinner, while Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana could be the fast bowlers.
