Rohit Sharma’s Team India will look to whitewash Jos Buttler-led England in the three-match ODI series when the two sides face off in the third game at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, February 12.
Team India will return to the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad after more than a year since losing the ODI World Cup 2023 final to Australia, when they face England in the third and final ODI match on Wednesday. The Australian brought an end to winning run of Rohit Sharma’s side in the ODI World Cup and Jos Buttler will be hoping to do the same with his England side.
The home side have already won the series 2-0 after comprehensive wins in Nagpur and Cuttack in the first two ODI matches. A strong innings from Virat Kohli, combined with a victory, would be the ideal finishing touch to India’s ICC Champions Trophy 2025 buildup. The highly anticipated eight-team tournament kicks off on February 19 in Karachi, with India set to face Bangladesh the following day in Dubai under the hybrid hosting model.
India already received a significant boost with Rohit’s return to form. His 90-ball 119 in the second ODI provided much-needed relief after a stretch of low scores.
Kohli, while not completely out of touch, has yet to play a substantial knock in this series. If he delivers, he stands on the brink of another milestone—just 89 runs away from becoming only the third batter in history to reach 14,000 ODI runs in a format that has long been his stronghold.
Throughout the series, India has showcased the depth of its talent pool, making the most of its resources. The inclusion of Varun Chakravarthy has added firepower to an already formidable spin attack—an asset that will be crucial in the Champions Trophy. Additionally, Mohammed Shami’s seamless return from injury has been reassuring for the team.
However, the biggest concern remains Jasprit Bumrah’s availability for the Champions Trophy. Initially expected to return for the Ahmedabad ODI, Bumrah is still training at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru under expert supervision. With the squad set to be announced on Wednesday, India will be anxiously awaiting updates on their premier pacer.
Bumrah’s unique skill set makes him an irreplaceable asset across all conditions, and India will be eager to have their strike bowler back as they chase another ICC title. Both India and England have opted for a rest day on Tuesday, skipping training and pre-match routines to recover ahead of the final encounter.
Having ended his rough patch with a century in Cuttack, Rohit’s confidence is likely to have a positive impact on the team. Meanwhile, Yashasvi Jaiswal may continue to wait for his opportunity, while KL Rahul will be under pressure to deliver, as he looks to break free from his current slump.
