India to play against England in 3rd ODI in Ahmedabad today

India will return to the Narendra Modi stadium for the first time since the heartbreaking 2023 ODI World Cup final where they lost to Australia. The scar still feels fresh even after 1 and a half years but this time around, India comes to the stadium under happier circumstances for the 3rd ODI against England in a series that is already wrapped up. Can India clean sweep the Englishmen is the question.

With Rohit Sharma roaring into form in the 2nd ODI at Cuttack with a blistering 119, all eyes will be on Virat Kohli who could muster only 6 runs in the match. With Kohli not playing the first match due to injury, this 3rd and final match in the series is the only chance for him to get his nick back before the Champions Trophy.

India will look to test out their fast bowling contingent in



this match, the last ODI before the Champions Trophy. With Jasprit Bumrah ruled out of the tournament, India will look towards Mohammed Shami, Nitish Rana and Arshdeep Singh to bail them out this time around. the veteran Bengal pacer Shami might sit the 3rd ODI out to mange his workload so that will give Arshdeep a chance to show his mettle.
