India vs England, 2nd ODI: After registering a spectacular win in the Edgbaston ODI against England, now the aim of Team India will be to take an unassailable lead in the series by winning the second match. The second ODI match will be played in Cardiff at 5.30 pm Indian time. The biggest question before this match is whether Indian captain Shubman Gill will play in this match? Shubhman Gill got injured while batting in Edgbaston ODI. Gill had a leg strain, after which he had to retire hurt on his personal score of 80 runs.
How is Shubman Gill’s injury?
Looking at the way Shubman Gill got injured and went out of the field, it does not seem that this player will be able to play the second ODI match. It is being told that he can be given rest. If this happens then Shreyas Iyer will be seen captaining the ODI team. Ishan Kishan will get the responsibility of opening. Team India will suffer a big loss due to Gill not being in the playing eleven because in the first ODI, Gill was the only batsman who looked completely solid. Otherwise the form of Rohit-Virat was looking bad. Talking about Ishan Kishan, he played in the T20 series where he was seen facing a lot of trouble on the short ball, so the English fast bowlers can trouble him in Cardiff.
There will be pressure on Iyer
If Shreyas Iyer captains the team in the second ODI, there will be a lot of pressure on this player. Actually, under his captaincy, Team India has played 7 matches and Team India has not won even a single match. After losing two T20 matches against Ireland, Team India also lost four matches of the T20 series against England. One match was washed out due to rain. Now if Iyer captains the team in the second ODI and Team India loses, then you can guess what will happen.
India’s playing eleven could be like this in Cardiff
Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Washington Sundar, Shivam Dubey, Axar Patel, Gurnoor Brar, Prasidh Krishna and Jasprit Bumrah.
