Team India’s best ODI XI of 2021
India did not play much ODI cricket in 2021, but there were some memorable moments for the team indeed.

For Rishabh Pant, there’s no doubt that the year 2021 has offered him a plenitude of opportunities. Whether it’s now the longest format or the shortest format or even the ODIs, Pant has eloquently cemented himself as India’s multi-format frontline gloveman. While Tests cricket and T20Is has brimmed him with match practice and game days, ODIs has only offered him two games in 2021.
However, with the cricketer now vigorously climbing his career ladder, Pant made the most even of those two games that were offered in the home series against England. the 24-year old produced two back to back 70-plus scores in the second and third ODI of the series. In fact, in both those innings, the southpaw smashed runs at an average strike rate of 159.15.
Even in his brief show in the ODIs, India’s multi-format gloveman whacked eight boundaries and 11 sixes from his two big innings.
