1st ODI: England Brace For More Spin Test, India Focus On Rohit, Virat's Form
Vidarbha Cricket Association: Spin has been the England cricket team's nemesis in the T20I series against India and it will continue to be their Achille's heel in the three-match ODI series, which starts with the first match at the Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) Stadium here on Thursday. They are also expected to be subjected to more spin inquisition in the Champions Trophy 2025 in Pakistan.
Spinners played a big role in India's 4-1 triumph in the T20I series with leg-spinner Varun Chakravarthy tormenting the visitors by claiming 14 wickets in five matches, including a fifer in the third game in Rajkot, incidentally the only match in the series that England won.
They were hammered by Abhishek Sharma, who blazed to 135 off 54 balls -- the highest score by an Indian in T20Is, in the final match at the Wankhede in Mumbai and then troubled by the spin again as they were bundled out for 97 in just within 11 overs.
