IND vs ENG 2025: 3 players who can make big impact for India in 3rd ODI against England

India will take on England in the third and final match of the ODI series at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on February 12. India have clinched the series by 2-1 with four wickets each win in the first two games. The third ODI is a dead rubber but it is crucial for both the teams to carry momentum going into the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025. 

India seem to have working on their blueprint for the Champions Trophy. This could be sensed as they have tried Yasahasvi Jaiswal as the opener and going back to Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill as the preferred opening pair. On the other hand, England will be gutted as Jacob Bethell will miss the event due to a hamstring injury and their pace battery is leaking a lot of runs.
