The India vs England 2nd ODI match will be played on February 9 at the Barabati Stadium in Odisha.
India clinched a hard-fought four-wicket win over England in the first ODI, taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Virat Kohli missed the opener due to a swollen knee, but Shubman Gill hinted at his likely return for the second ODI on February 9 at Barabati Stadium in Cuttack.
Skipper Rohit Sharma will be under the spotlight as he looks to regain form, while Kohli’s comeback could strengthen India’s lineup ahead of the Champions Trophy. The team management faces a key decision on whether to tweak their bowling attack or stick with the current combination.
Barabati Stadium, which last hosted an ODI in December 2019, is known for high scores, favoring teams bowling first due to potential dew in the second innings. Spinners have historically been effective here. India’s highest total at this venue came in 2017, when they posted 381/6 against England, who replied with 366.
Anil Kumble played three matches, bowling 180 balls (30 overs) and taking seven wickets at an average of 16.85. His best figures were 3/28, with an economy rate of 3.93 and a strike rate of 25.71.
Ishant Sharma featured in three matches, claiming seven wickets at an average of 21.57. He recorded best figures of 4/34, with an economy rate of 6.04 and a strike rate of 21.42, including one four-wicket haul.
Ravindra Jadeja played four matches, picking up seven wickets at an average of 24.71. His best figures were 4/32, with an economy rate of 4.32.
Ajit Agarkar and Zaheer Khan both played five matches, securing seven and six wickets, respectively, with best figures of 2/45 and 2/49.
