5 Reasons why you should be excited about the India-England ODI series

2. Last ODI series for India before Champions Trophy ‘17

Since this is India’s last assignment before the Champions Trophy, the team will enter the series with the mindset of being on their A-game. We can expect it to be an excellent display of individual performances as well as good teamwork because players would like to show their caliber that can be handy for the team in the tournament.

Individual contribution for the benefit of the team always fuels cricket excitement, like Amit Mishra’s 5/18 against NZ, Manish Pandey’s 104* vs Australia, KL Rahul’s 100* vs Zimbabwe to name a few noteworthy performances. It is also an opportunity for players to rubbish claims that India entirely relies on certain players and has the less recognized players also have the mettle to do well.
