Mohammed Siraj has risen from the ranks. He is one of the players who has traveled from the maidans to the cricket grounds. From once bowling with the ?chappals? in the ?Maidans? of Hyderabad to becoming India?s strike bowler in the powerplay, Mohammed Siraj has done it all.



He will be playing his maiden ODI at his home ground in Hyderabad on Wednesday. The game will be played against New Zealand, the very team against whom he made his T20I debut. Here is an in-depth look:?



<h2>Rohit Sharma Showers Praise on Mohammed Siraj:&nbsp;</h2>



In the pre-match press conference on the eve of the India VS New Zealand ODI series, Rohit Sharma showered a lot of praise on ?Miyan Magic?. He said that his services need to be valued and he is an integral part of the plan for the ODI World Cup 2023. He also said that Siraj is one of the most improved bowlers. 



This is what he had to say, ?Over the last couple of years, we?ve seen how well Siraj has fared across all three formats. He has improved his bowling; his line and length have improved. He has especially worked on his outswing. Earlier, he wasn?t that renowned for swing, but he has shown his ability to swing with the new ball over the last series.&nbsp; ?.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Mohammed-Siraj-Gabba-e1674005481936.jpg" alt="Mohammed Siraj" class="wp-image-101231" width="810"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">India's Gabba Hero, Mohammed Siraj! IMG SRC: Scroll</figcaption></figure>



Further, he added, ?It isn?t an easy task for any batsman to face the new ball. Siraj has started understanding his bowling and what the team wants from him. Overall, he has become a very good bowler for the team, one who can take wickets with the new ball and in the middle overs. He has also improved his death bowling with the IPL?.&nbsp;



<h2>Team India Looking For a Bowler in the Powerplay:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/01/Jasprit-Bumrah-min-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-101232"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Bumrah and Siraj will be a lethal combo in the powerplay. IMG SRC: BCCI.</figcaption></figure>



The biggest issue for the Indian Cricket team in the recent past is that it has failed to take wickets in the powerplay overs. Earlier the likes of Zaheer Khan and Ashish Nehra used to get the job done. But today only Bhuvneshwar Kumar is one bowler who gives us such services. But with the kind of promise that Siraj has shown, we can certainly groom him for that role. Deepak Chahar is one such bowler. &nbsp;



<h2>Mohammed Siraj?s Workload to Be Managed:&nbsp;</h2>



Mohammed Siraj is an integral part of the scheme of things for the ODI World Cup 2023 and hence his workload is expected to be a little managed. He is also expected to say fit for all 4 test matches against Australia a home. This is what Rohit Sharma had to say about it, ?We have to keep in mind that we manage him well, and keep him fresh till the World Cup and for the four Tests against Australia?.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Mohammed Siraj is a ?Rare Talent?, Rohit Sharma Showers Praise On Young Pacer After He Impresses in ODI Series Against Sri Lanka 2023.

mohammed-siraj-is-a-rare-talent-rohit-sharma-showers-praise-on-young-pacer-after-he-impresses-in-odi-series-against-sri-lanka-2023

INDvSL: While the third One Day International (ODI) game against Sri Lanka in Thiruvananthapuram was all about the mayhem caused by the blistering batting of Virat Kohli and Mohammad Siraj's electrifying bowling spell, it had a little bit about Rohit Sharma as well, who has created an unwanted record for himself and now is under scrutiny.



Rohit, who is known for big centuries, has often got off to good starts, but his conversion rate has dipped to a large extent. In the recent three-match ODI series as well, Rohit scored 83 runs in the first game and 42 in the third ODI. Despite laying a solid launchpad early in the innings, the Indian skipper missed his chance to reach triple figures twice in the series against Sri Lanka.



The situation got worse when the stats showed Rohit has played the last 50 international innings without scoring a century. This is his career's second-longest streak. His last century came against England at the Oval back in September 2021 during the five-match test series.



Former Indian cricketer, Gautam Gambhir, who was the panellist when the stat was presented during the third ODI, said Rohit must go through the same hardships and should be subjected to a similar response that his compatriot Virat Kohli faced when his runs dried up, a few months ago.



?I think we should talk to him in the same space like we used to when Virat didn't get a 100 in last three and a half years. So we should be equally hard on Rohit Sharma because 50 innings in international cricket is quite a lot,? said Gambhir.



Gambhir, who played an impactful knock of 97 runs in the ODI World Cup 2011 final against Sri Lanka, reckons Rohit's game has everything in it but his triple figures have dried up which will affect India's campaign in the upcoming ODI World Cup.



Notably, Rohit Sharma was in scintillating form during the last ODI World Cup in 2019 where he slammed 5 centuries and ended as the highest run-getter in the tournament. The opener had scored 648 runs in nine innings with an average of 81.



?It's not you didn't get a 100 in one or two series, and that is one thing that is missing in Rohit's game from the last World Cup. He used to get those big 100s, this time he's looking in good form, he's hitting the ball well but he has to convert. One thing that has stood out for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, and Virat has got it back, Rohit Sharma need to get it back at least before the World Cup because these two guys will be extremely important if India has to go all the way and win the World Cup,? the ex-cricketer added.



India will host the upcoming ODI World Cup in October-November. The preparations for the marquee tournament have already begun with the series against Sri Lanka.

INDvSL: Rohit Sharma creates an unwanted record in 3rd ODI against Sri Lanka

indvsl-rohit-sharma-creates-an-unwanted-record-in-3rd-odi-against-sri-lanka

Team India's former captain, Virat Kohli, displayed an outstanding performance in the third game of the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Virat Kohli scored an unbroken 166 runs while taking the news of the Sri Lankan bowlers very seriously. During this turbulent innings, Virat Kohli faced 110 balls and struck 13 fours and 8 sixes.



Virat Kohli's performance helped the Indian team amass 390 runs for five wickets. The Sri Lankan team responded by being dismissed for 73 runs in 22 overs. Virat Kohli's ODI career included 46 centuries, including this one. Due to this outstanding performance, Kohli set numerous records. We should read further in this article.



<ul>
<li>Virat Kohli scored his 21st ODI century at home. The player with the most hundreds in ODI home matches is now Kohli. Compatriot Sachin Tendulkar, who has a total of 20 ODI hundreds on Indian soil, was left behind by Virat Kohli.</li>
</ul>

</div></figure>



<ul>
<li>Sachin Tendulkar's record for the most ODI hundreds against the same side was also broken by Virat Kohli. The most against one team in the history of ODIs, Kohli now has 10 hundred versus Sri Lanka. Tendulkar scored the same number of centuries against Australia as Virat Kohli did against the West Indies (9 centuries total). Along with breaking Sachin's record for the most centuries (eight) against Sri Lanka, Kohli also scored a century in the opening ODI.</li>
</ul>

</div></figure>



<ul>
<li>Virat Kohli also passed Sri Lankan veteran Mahela Jayawardene to go up to fifth place in One Day International runs scoring during this century. In ODIs, Virat Kohli has now scored 12754 runs. Mahela Jayawardene has 12650 runs listed under her name concurrently. Up to this point, Kohli has amassed 46 ODI, 27 Test, and 100 T20 International runs.</li>
</ul>



Players who scored the most runs in ODIs



<ol>
<li>Sachin Tendulkar - 18426 runs</li>



<li>Kumar Sangakkara - 14234 runs</li>



<li>Ricky Ponting - 13704 runs</li>



<li>Sanath Jayasuriya - 13430 runs</li>



<li>Virat Kohli - 12754 runs</li>
</ol>



<ul>
<li>On Indian soil, this was Kohli's highest ODI score. In Visakhapatnam, Kohli's previous high score in India was 157 not out. This was Virat Kohli's 38th ODI century, a record for a batsman, and Team India won the match.</li>



<li>In these three games, Virat Kohli amassed 283 runs and was named Player of the Series. This was Virat's 20th international cricket Player of the Series honor. Virat has now surpassed Sachin Tendulkar in terms of the number of Player of the Series honors received. For the 38th time in ODIs, Virat Kohli received the player of the game award.</li>

<h2>Kohli gave this big statement after the match</h2>



"My mindset is to support the team and get the team to a strong position," Virat Kohli stated following the game. I made an effort to improve, which was beneficial. I feel terrific and have had no desire to reach the milestone since I returned from vacation. I want to keep doing this and am satisfied, he continued. I enjoyed playing that position today. I'm doing well in cricket.

IND vs SL: Virat Kohli broke so many records as soon as he hit his second Century against Sri Lanka, know by one click

ind-vs-sl-virat-kohli-broke-so-many-records-as-soon-as-he-hit-his-second-wicket-against-sri-lanka-know-by-one-click

IND vs SL: Dominant India demonstrated their power pack ?all-round? show to dump the Sri Lankan team's hopes to win the ODI series in India and now India will be seeking to bury Lankan's hopes to win a single ODI match on this tour. India made a one-sided victory in the first ODI and won the second ODI by 4 wickets.



With the series already lost 2-0, Sri Lanka will play for pride against India in the third and final ODI on Sunday in Thiruvananthapuram (January 15). Although there are no Super League points on the line in this minor encounter, Sri Lanka does have one last chance to qualify for the 2023 World Cup automatically, when they play and beat New Zealand at home and a victory before that would boost their confidence.



The World Cup hosts, on the other hand, have a busy multi-format home season ahead with at least 12 more ODIs and an Asia Cup to play after this, and the management would be concerned about the players' workload.&nbsp;

The Blackcaps will play three T20Is and three ODIs in India immediately after this series is over, so players will need to be rested and in top physical condition. As a result, several members of the lineup from the second ODI may not play in the final ODI.



When captain Rohit Sharma at Eden Gardens was asked about the expected changes for the final game of the series, he said "We haven't thought about it yet, once we get there we'll have a look at the pitch and have a look at some of our guys. There are three ODIs coming up against New Zealand as well, so we need to keep the guys fresh. We've got a long season now and we need to keep everything in mind. If needed, we'll make some changes."



<h2>IND vs SL: India can make these 3 Changes for the 3rd ODI</h2>



<ul>
<li>Arshdeep Singh can get a chance: Considering India has won the series, Arshdeep might have a chance if the team decides to rest the regular bowlers. As we all know, fast bowlers are the players who give everything they have to get the job done for their side. <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/13217/arshdeep-singh" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arshdeep </a>Singh, the team's lone left-arm pacer, might see the outing as India looks to test the depth of their bench as they gear up for the World Cup.</li>

<ul>
<li>Kuldeep Yadav may get sidelined again: If India's first-choice wrist spinner Yuzvendra Chahal recovers fully, attention will once again be on Kuldeep Yadav, who bowled wonderfully in Kolkata but may find himself sidelined once again after yet another Player of the Match performance, as in Bangladesh in the recently concluded Test series. After seeing his hard work, you definitely would have felt for Kuldeep Yadav.</li>
</ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Hardik-Pandya-Rahul-Dravid.jpg" alt="Ind vs SL: 3 possible changes before the 3rd ODI against Sri Lanka" class="wp-image-98414" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IND VS SL| Hardik Pandya (BCCI)</figcaption></figure>



<ul>
<li>Hardik Pandya can get rest to field Washi Sundar: Due to the fact that Hardik Pandya has played five consecutive games and that the New Zealand series is just around the corner, team management may ask him to take a rest from playing to keep him fresh for the upcoming series. This can link Washington Sundar's possible addition to the lineup. He brings left-handed batting, right-arm off-break, and great spin play on his Resume. He can be a good replacement since the Greenfield Stadium pitch is known for assisting spinners.</li>
</ul>



After a flawless performance in Guwahati and a victory in Kolkata, India has a 2-0 series lead. The hosts wouldn't want to let their guard down even in the dead rubber because they would be facing a tougher opponent in New Zealand just one week from now.



Predicted Playing XI: Rohit Sharma(C), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav/ Yuzi Chahal, Mohammad Shami, Mohammad Siraj, Arshdeep Singh.

Venue: Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram



<h2>INDvSL Greenfield International Stadium Pitch Report</h2>



It's not a usual ground where international games happen so often. So far only four international matches have been held at this venue and all turned out to be low-scoring. In the only ODI conducted here, India restricted the Caribbeans to a mere total of 104 runs which was chased down easily by the hosts. Spinners dominated the game between India and West Indies.



However, in the latest encounter held in Greenfield International stadium, the surface favoured the pacers. It's going to be a tough choice for the captains after winning the flip of the coin. 



<h2>INDvSL Injury Update/Player Update</h2>



Yuzvendra Chahal had a bit of an injury scare due to which he was rested from the 2nd ODI. He is expected to be fit. From Sri Lanka Dilshan Madushanka (shoulder injury) and Pathum Nissanka (stiff back) suffered injuries in the 1st ODI.

India vs Sri Lanka 3rd ODI: Rohit Sharma's Team India established a 2-0 lead in the three-match One-Day International series after a 67-run victory in the first ODI and a 4-wicket victory in the second ODI over Dasun Shanaka's Sri Lanka.



India won the last match and sealed the series, KL Rahul got a few runs and play the leading role in the 2nd ODI, which will support him in gaining confidence. The Indian bowling was a crucial component in Sri Lanka's failure in the first two ODIs, particularly in the middle overs. A wrist spinner with an energetic gun pacer in the middle regularly picks off wickets and causes significant issues for the visitors.



Umran Malik is something that India never had in the history of Indian cricket 'RAW PACE'. He has become India's fastest bowler in IPL, T20 internationals, and now in ODI's as well. He can be expensive and he will be expensive with the areas he bowls but if he picks up 2-3 wickets in every game with coinciding 60 runs in 8 to 10 overs, we can take it.



Now, India and Sri Lanka will meet at Greenfield International Stadium, where they are scheduled to play the 3rd ODI of the series. The Indian team would definitely like to carry the momentum and end the series with a 3-0 white-wash there.

So far, Greenfield International Stadium of Thiruvananthapuram has been a nightmare for batters, while bowlers have dominated. Last year, South Africa and India played a T20I match in this stadium, which was totally dominated by both teams' bowlers.



This venue has only hosted one ODI game, which was held in 2018 between India and the West Indies. West Indies lost that game after being bowled out for only 104 runs. The pacers will be able to swing the ball in the first few overs, and as the surface becomes slower later on, both sides' spinners will come into action.



The boundaries of the stadium are not that huge, and the batters can play their shots after getting their eyes set.



<h2 id="strong-india-vs-sri-lanka-3rd-odi-who-will-win-the-3rd-odi-strong">India vs Sri Lanka 3rd ODI: Who will win the 3rd ODI?</h2>



Sri Lanka continues to struggle in this series, they are well short of playing at their best. The Greenfield International Stadium pitch may be even worse for Dasun Shanaka's team, who are already in a terrible stretch of form. The toss can be quite important when considering "the due factor," as teams will prefer to chase the target since it is much easier to do so than to set the target on the board.



Considering the previous record, if India bat first and manage to set a 250+ score, Sri Lanka is going to lose this one too. And anything less than that could be trouble for India as we can't underestimate any opponent on the International stage.

India vs Sri Lanka 3rd ODI: Weather forecast and Pitch Report for the 3rd ODI | Who will win the 3rd ODI IND vs SL

INDvSL: Watch Virat Kohli, Ishan dance at Eden Gardens laser show: While, a few days ago, Virat Kohli hopped into the limelight for his magical ton against Sri Lanka in Guwahati, now it's his dance moves that have drawn people's attention towards him. Following a series-clinching victory in Eden Gardens, Kohli along with his young teammate, Ishan Kishan, was seen dancing during the laser show. The video of the two shaking their legs has gone viral on social media and the netizens are in awe of their moves.



After India defeated Sri Lanka in the second ODI by 4 wickets, a laser show was organised in Eden Gardens to pay tribute to the late legendary footballer Pele. The honour was paid to Pele, who died recently, by showing footage of his skills on a giant screen in the stadium.



Notably, Pele came to Eden Gardens on September 24, 1977, to play for New York Cosmos Club against Mohun Bagan.



Both Virat Kohli and Ishan Kishan were enjoying the laser show as the two danced in sync. Both flaunted their dancing moves as they share a candid moment. 



Down below is the video showing Virat and Ishan dancing together in the laser show at Eden Gardens following last night's ODI win.

<h2>India bag ODI series at Eden Gardens</h2>



Team India extended its dominant record against Sri Lanka as they registered a four-wicket convincing victory at Eden Gardens to seal the series. India had already won the first ODI game at Guwahati.



KL Rahul played out a crucial knock of 63 runs to take India home against Sri Lanka, who posted a total of 215 runs in the second ODI in Kolkata. For Sri Lanka, debutant opener batter Nuwanidu Fernando scored a half-century, besides Kusal Mendis' 34 and Dunith Wellalage's 32.



Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammad Siraj scalped three wickets apiece while Umran Malik got two and Axar Patel scalped one to end Sri Lanka's innings in 39.4 overs.



In response to a below-par total in Kolkata's batting-friendly surface, India couldn't repeat their batting heroics of Guwahati as Rohit Sharma departed at a score of 17 runs. Shubman Gill, too, followed Rohit Sharma at a score of 21 runs. Virat Kohli couldn't do any better this time as he was dismissed for a single-digit score. At a score of 62, India's top order was back in the pavilion.



KL Rahul's steady knock of 64 runs partnering Shreyas Iyer (28 runs off 33) and Hardik Pandya (36 runs off 53) ensured India go over the rope against Sri Lanka. India won the 2nd ODI by 4 wickets.



The two sides will travel to Thiruvananthapuram for the final game of the three-match ODI series. The 3rd ODI will be held on January 15.

India vs Sri Lanka 2nd ODI: Rohit Sharma's&nbsp; Team India established a 1-0 lead in the three-match One-Day International series after a 67-run victory over Dasun Shanaka's Sri Lanka in the first ODI on Tuesday at the Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati (January 10).&nbsp;



India set a challenging total of 374 off the back of Virat Kohli's 45th ODI century and fifty-plus scores from skipper Rohit and Shubman Gill. In return, skipper Shanaka put in a valiant effort and scored an undefeated hundred, but the hosts were able to restrict the visitors to 306/8, offsetting the impact of the knock.

Talking about Indian bowling, Umran Malik is something that India never had in the history of Indian cricket 'RAW PACE'. He has become India's fastest bowler in IPL, T20 internationals, and now in ODI's as well. He launched a 156kph fireball in the match and also took 3 wickets.



Now, India and Sri Lanka will meet at Eden Gardens, where are scheduled to play the 2nd ODI of the series. The same ground where Rohit Sharma scored the highest individual score of 264 against the same team on 13 November 2014. The Indian team would definitely like to carry the momentum and seal the series 2-0 there.

Let's check the weather forecast and Pitch report of Eden Gardens in Kolkata. 'Will rain interrupt the game?&nbsp;



<h2 id="strong-india-vs-sri-lanka-2nd-odi-weather-forecast-strong">India vs Sri Lanka 2nd ODI: Weather Forecast</h2>



India vs Sri Lanka | 2nd ODI of Sri Lanka tour of India 2023 will take place on January 12 (Thursday) at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, India. The match begins at 1:30 PM IST.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screenshot-131.png" alt="India vs Sri Lanka 2nd ODI: Weather forecast and Pitch Report for the 2nd ODI | Who will win the 2nd ODI IND vs SL" class="wp-image-100988" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">India vs Sri Lanka 2nd ODI at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. -<a href="https://weather.com/en-IN/weather/tenday/l/6ecbadd5ca4ce6c97d16802065235a0e2d6f88cb05cd22dd3fe0fb1da4df330c" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Weather.com</a></figcaption></figure>

The chance of rain is 5% during the day and 7% at night. The humidity will be 57% during the day and increase to 80% at night. Winds will move towards Northwest and Southwest at a speed of 5-10 kph

Because of the short boundaries, Eden Gardens is known as a batter's paradise, yet the wickets appear to help spinners as the game progresses. In 29 completed ODIs at this venue, the average score is 255.5 runs. 



As far as the bowlers are concerned, the fast bowlers are likely to get some assistance from the track with the new ball in terms of movement, but as the match progresses and the pitch is likely to get better in the light, expect the batsmen to get more advantages altogether.



Additionally, the captain's decision during the toss, which will most likely be to bowl first, will be influenced by the dew factor after dusk.

Indian top order is in top form and this is sufficient to predict the assurance. However, the Lions often have shown the fight and we can never neglect their spirit and intent on the ground. All Indian veteran batters got some runs off their bats and also considering the ground dimensions plus records, India definitely have the upper hand. If India bat first, they will need to put up a similar target as in the 1st ODI to win the match. And if India bowl first, they'll need to restrict the visitors to somewhere around 300.

Shami 'Mankads*' Shanaka on 98: What a display of ruthless batting and bowling India showed up in the first ODI against Sri Lanka on Tuesday at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. After a very long time, we saw Rohit Sharma being RO-HITMAN Sharma, some runs for Shubman Gill?s bat, and a heartily century celebration of none other than KING KOHLI.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/King-1.jpg" alt="Shami 'Ran out' Shanaka at non-striker's End on 98" class="wp-image-100982" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">King Kohli celebrating his 73rd International century (Twitter)</figcaption></figure>

India was excellent throughout every part of the game. While batting, India put up a huge total of 373 riding Virat?s ton and half-centuries from Rahit and Gill (<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ind-vs-sl-1st-odi-india-defeated-sri-lanka-by-67-runs-to-take-a-1-0-series-lead/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Read Match Review</a>). And while defending the target, India?s fast bowlers picked wickets and never allowed Sri Lanka to settle down and start the chase. Sri Lanka had already lost the match till 45th over itself, but the match was completed just for the sake of formality. It was the last over which took everyone?s attention.



<h2>Shami 'Ran out' Shanaka at non-striker's End on 98</h2>



In the final over of the second innings of the first ODI, India pacer Mohammed Shami ran out Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka at the non-striker's end. With only three balls remaining, Shanaka, the captain of Sri Lanka, was batting on 98 and eager to do anything to get back to strike. Shami, on the other hand, observed that Dasun was backing up excessively at the non-striker's end and made the decision to run him out at 98.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/Rahulchaube9/status/1613040305938534400
</div></figure>



Meanwhile, India's captain withdrew the appeal, and the umpires declared the ball dead. Later, Shanaka got his strike, and on the game's final two balls, he hit a boundary and a six to complete his century. Despite losing by a score of 67 runs, Sri Lanka's captain's century will give them more confidence.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/asmylemalhotra1/status/1612864978746507265
</div></figure>



When Rohit was asked about the incident by Dinesh Kartik, the Indian skipper said, ?I had no idea Shami did that (run-out), he was batting on 98. The way he batted was brilliant, we cannot get him out like that. We wanted to get him out as we wanted but that was not something we thought of, hats off to him, he played really well.?



But if you watch the match, you won?t see any intent from any of the Sri Lankan Batters to take on the charge. Dasun Shanaka on the other hand, looked like he was playing only for his century as he knew he won?t be able to win the match for the team. Had Rohit not withdrawn Shami's appeal, Shanaka would have been dismissed, but the Sri Lankan captain was allowed to continue his innings and ended up at 108 not out off 88 balls.

The India VS Sri Lanka 2nd ODI will be played on Thursday (12th of January). The first game was a one-sided encounter in favor of the Indian cricket team with Dasun Shanaka being the lone warrior from the Sri Lankan side. He has been mighty impressive in the past year. The second ODI will be played in Kolkata, which is a batter?s paradise. Here is a look at how the teams stand before the 2nd ODI:&nbsp;



<h2>Indian Team Preview Before India VS Sri Lanka 2nd ODI:&nbsp;</h2>



The Indian cricket team is high on confidence. This can be seen in the approach of the batters. The team is dealing with the problem of plenty. They have to bench the likes of Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan. Both these players are in the form of their lives. Ishan Kishan is coming off after scoring a double hundred. But that is the level of competition that the team has and we can do nothing but accept the truth. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma too had a good game. Both the veterans looked in solid touch and added the spice to the India VS Sri Lanka 1st ODI.



In the bowling unit, pace sensation Umran Malik is improving with their experience in international cricket. Yuzi Chahal is bowling well and so is Axar Patel. And ?Miya Magic? Mohammed Siraj is in a league of his own. He is giving India the much-required breakthroughs.&nbsp;



Squads:&nbsp;



Rohit Sharma (c),&nbsp;Shubman Gill,&nbsp;Virat Kohli,&nbsp;Shreyas Iyer,&nbsp;KL Rahul (wk),&nbsp;Hardik Pandya,&nbsp;Axar Patel,&nbsp;Mohammed Shami,&nbsp;Umran Malik,&nbsp;Mohammed Siraj,&nbsp;Yuzvendra Chahal, Suryakumar Yadav,&nbsp;Washington Sundar,&nbsp;Kuldeep Yadav,&nbsp;Ishan Kishan,&nbsp;Arshdeep Singh.&nbsp;



Expected Playing XI:&nbsp;



Rohit Sharma (c),&nbsp;Shubman Gill,&nbsp;Virat Kohli,&nbsp;Shreyas Iyer,&nbsp;KL Rahul (wk),&nbsp;Hardik Pandya,&nbsp;Axar Patel,&nbsp;Mohammed Shami,&nbsp;Umran Malik,&nbsp;Mohammed Siraj,&nbsp;Yuzvendra Chahal&nbsp;



<h2>Sri Lankan Team Preview Before India VS Sri Lanka 2nd ODI:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/AXAR-1.jpg" alt="India vs Sri Lanka " class="wp-image-100777"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Dasun Shananka is in the form of his life. IMG SRC: BCCI.</figcaption></figure>



The silver lining of the dark cloud in Sri Lankan cricket is their skipper Dasun Shanaka. Apart from Shanaka, it is Pathum Nissanka who has shown immense promise. The youngster has been a rock at the start of every Sri Lankan batting inning. But senior players like Asalanka and Dhananjay De Silva need to show more character and have to step up with the bat. With Shanaka?s effort, the Lankan Lions managed to get to 300, if the entire unit clicks, they can easily score 350+. Maheesh Teekshana may come in for the next game as spinners rule in the India VS Sri Lanka games.



Squad:&nbsp; Pathum Nissanka,&nbsp;Avishka Fernando,&nbsp;Kusal Mendis (wk),&nbsp;Dhananjaya de Silva,&nbsp;Charith Asalanka,&nbsp;Dasun Shanaka (c),&nbsp;Wanindu Hasaranga,&nbsp;Chamika Karunaratne,&nbsp;Maheesh Teekshana,&nbsp;Kasun Rajitha,&nbsp;Dilshan Madushanka, Dunith Wellalage,&nbsp;Lahiru Kumara,&nbsp;Ashen Bandara,&nbsp;Nuwanidu Fernando,&nbsp;Pramod Madushan,&nbsp;Jeffrey Vandersay,&nbsp;Sadeera Samarawickrama&nbsp;



Expected Playing XI: &nbsp;



Pathum Nissanka,&nbsp;Avishka Fernando,&nbsp;Kusal Mendis (wk),&nbsp;Dhananjaya de Silva,&nbsp;Charith Asalanka,&nbsp;Dasun Shanaka (c),&nbsp;Wanindu Hasaranga,&nbsp;Chamika Karunaratne,&nbsp;Maheesh Teekshana,&nbsp;Kasun Rajitha,&nbsp;Dilshan Madushanka&nbsp;



<h2>Predictions and Dream 11 Team:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/01/Mohammed-Siraj-min.jpg" alt="India VS Sri Lanka" class="wp-image-100973"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Siraj will also have a good game at Eden Gardens. IMG SRC: Wisden</figcaption></figure>



The prediction is for India to win the game and seal the series. The best bowler for India will be Yuzvendra Chahal. He looked in good touch in the last game but the dew was making it difficult for him. The best batter from Sri Lanka can be Charith Asalanka. And the best batter from the Indian team can be Virat Kohli again.&nbsp;



Team for fantasy sports like Dream 11:



Rohit Sharma, Kusal Mendis, Virat Kohli, Charith Asalanka, KL Rahul (WK), Hardik Pandya (C), Wanindu Hasaranga (VC), Dasun Shanaka, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami.



<h2>Venue, Timings, and Broadcaster:&nbsp;</h2>



The game will be played at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The pitch is a batter's paradise with little help for the pacers under lights. In the evening, there is a lot of dew. Win the toss and bowling fist could be a smart decision. The game will begin at 1.30 pm. The official broadcaster of the India VS Sri Lanka series is Star TV Network. The Indian VS Sri Lanka 2nd ODI can also be seen on Hotstar. &nbsp;

Sri Lanka tour of India 2023

England Cricket Team has announced the playing XI for the first ODI against India. The three-match series between the teams is all set to be played from 6th February at the VCA Stadium in Nagpur. The last two games will be played on 9th and 12th February, respectively, in Cuttack and Ahmedabad. 
England, who lost the T20I series by the margin of 4-1, have announced the strong XI for the first match of the IND vs ENG ODI series. Joe Root has made his return to the team for the first time after the ICC World Cup 2023. The premier didn't play a single ODI after the tournament and would want to make an impact. 
Ben Duckett will be opening the innings alongside Phil Salt in the first IND vs ENG ODI. The duo opened the innings in the T20I series as well but couldn't make the impact they wanted. It will be a great opportunity for them to get some runs under their belt and help the team stage a comeback. 
Joe Root will be batting at No.3 while Harry Brook has been slated to bat at No.3. The vice-captain of the England team struggled in the T20I series as he slammed just one half-century in the five games. He also was trolled a lot for his smog statement and would be keen to reply to all the critics in style. 
Captain Jos Buttler has been drafted at N0.5 in the series and it is expected that he will keep the wickets. He was the only settled batter for England in the T20I series and would want to carry on his form in the IND vs ENG ODI series. 
Liam Livingstone and Jacob Bethell are the two all-rounders picked by England in the middle order. Along with him, Byron Carse will be there as a fast-bowling all-rounder. Adil Rashid is the frontline spinner in the team. He will be holding a key for the team on ODIs as he did in T20Is. 
Jofra Archer and Saqib Mahmood are the two frontline pacers in the team. The duo were decent with the ball in the IND vs ENG T20I series. 
<h2>IND vs ENG: England playing 11 for the first ODI against India announced </h2>

Australia has suffered a massive blow ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As per the reports in ESPNCricinfo, it is learned that captain Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood are all set to be ruled out of the tournament, which will begin on 19th February. 
Pat Cummins suffered an ankle injury during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 and missed the ongoing Test tour to injury due to the same and also the birth of his second child. The fast bowler since then has been out of action and hasn't resumed any kind of bowling. 
Pat Cummins hasn't gained his full fitness and it is highly likely that he will be missing the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This will be a massive blow as not only will they miss the quality bowler but also the captain, who took them to win the ICC World Cup 2023. 
In the absence of Pat Cummins, Australia is likely to give the leadership role to either Travis Head or Steve Smith. The latter has been leading the team in the ongoing Test series against Sri Lanka, and under his leadership, Australia won the first game of the series by a massive margin. 
The development was confirmed by Australia head coach Andrew McDonald, saying that Pat Cummins is highly likely to be unavailable. He also talked about giving leadership roles to Steve Smith and Travis Head. Speaking to SEN, he said:
"Pat Cummins hasn't been able to resume any type of bowling so he's heavily unlikely, so that would mean that we do need a captain. Steve Smith and Travis Head are the two that we've been having conversations with while we've been building out that Champions Trophy team along with Pat back home. They'll be the two that we look at for that leadership post." 
<h2>Josh Hazlewood is expected to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Apart from Pat Cummins, star pacer Josh Hazlewood also is expected to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The fast bowler is battling with a hip issue, which he faced in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He, too, hasn't bowled since then and is against time to recover. 
His absence could be a big blow as well as he has been one of the consistent players for the team. Pat Cummins, along with Hazlewood, are now among the three Australia players to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Earlier, Mitchell Marsh was ruled out of the tournament.

IND vs ENG 1st ODI: The ODI series between India and England, the two powerhouse teams, will commence on February 6 with the first ODI at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. As the two big guns prepare to take on each other, all eyes will be on the thrilling individual battle that can shape the series. 
This high-stakes encounter promises some intense face-offs between world-class players. With the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma at the top order of India and Jos Buttler and Joe Root for England, the series is going to be tough for bowlers and the stakes are high for the contest. Let's take a closer look at the key player battles to watch out for in IND vs ENG 1st ODI:
<h2>Key Player Battles to Watch Out For in IND vs ENG 1st ODI</h2>
<h3>1- Rohit Sharma vs Jofra Archer</h3>
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has been struggling with form in recent times, particularly against pace. His vulnerability around the off-stump was exposed during the Test series against Australia, where he repeatedly fell to deliveries in that channel. The trend continued in his only Ranji Trophy appearance, where he failed in both innings against similar deliveries. Additionally, short-pitched bowling is emerging as another concern, making him a prime target for England’s pace spearhead, Jofra Archer.
Archer has already enjoyed success against Rohit in the T20 format, dismissing him three times in just 29 deliveries while conceding only 23 runs. This translates to an impressive strike rate of under 10 balls per wicket against the Indian captain. However, Rohit is known for his ability to adapt quickly to different conditions, and he has proven his resilience time and again. If he can counter Archer’s pace and movement, this battle could be a defining one in the first ODI.
<h3>2- Virat Kohli vs Brydon Carse/Gus Atkinson</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa1cda02.jpg" alt="">
With only one of Brydon Carse or Gus Atkinson likely to feature in England’s playing XI, whoever gets the nod will have a crucial role to play against Virat Kohli. Both pacers possess the skill set needed to challenge the modern master of white-ball cricket, especially around his well-documented weakness outside the off-stump. During the Test series against Australia, Kohli repeatedly fell to deliveries in the fifth-stump channel, edging behind—a vulnerability that Atkinson and Carse have the accuracy to exploit.
Unlike express pacers like Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, who rely on raw speed, Atkinson and Carse focus more on control and precision. This makes them an even bigger threat to Kohli early in his innings, as they can keep him guessing with disciplined lines. While there aren’t many head-to-head statistics available for this contest, the impact of this battle could be significant in shaping the match’s outcome.
<h3>3- Jos Buttler vs Mohammed Shami</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa7148b9.jpg" alt="">
Jos Buttler, one of England’s most recognized cricketers in India, has been in fine form recently. A well-rounded and technically sound batter, he has very few weaknesses that bowlers have successfully exploited. However, if there is one bowler who could trouble him, it is India’s seasoned pacer, Mohammed Shami.
Shami holds a statistical edge over Buttler in ODIs, having dismissed him five times in just 67 deliveries. While Buttler has managed to score 57 runs off those balls, Shami’s ability to generate movement and maintain a probing line makes him a serious threat. With his knack for producing sharp seam movement and late swing, Shami will look to unsettle Buttler early and continue his dominance in this intriguing contest.
4- Joe Root vs Axar Patel/Ravindra Jadeja
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa35fdae.jpg" alt="">
England’s right-handed batting maestro, Joe Root, has historically struggled against Jasprit Bumrah, particularly in Indian conditions. However, with Bumrah unavailable for this series, India may turn to spin as their primary weapon against him.
Despite being an exceptional player of spin, Root has shown vulnerability against left-arm off-spinners in the past. With no Bumrah to trouble him with pace and movement, India could look to exploit this weakness by deploying their spinners strategically. In the absence of their pace spearhead, setting a spin trap for Root might be India’s best bet to keep him in check.

The IND vs ENG 1st ODI will feature key battles, including Rohit vs Archer, Kohli vs Atkinson/Carse, Buttler vs Shami, and Root vs India’s spin trap. These matchups could shape the game’s outcome.

Crucial player battles—Rohit vs. Archer, Kohli vs. Atkinson/Carse, Buttler vs. Shami, and Root vs. spin—will define IND vs ENG 1st ODI.

IND vs ENG: After the T20 series concluded, as Mohammed Shami returned to the shortest format for India after a huge span of absence from the format, the World Cup 2023 hero is back playing a crucial hand in the ODI series against England, which will begin on the 6th of February. 
 
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Shami">Mohammed Shami </a>has had a decent T20 return with 3 wickets across 2 games played and is considered one of the greatest ODI bowlers for India of all time. Especially in the absence of legendary pacer Bumrah, Shami is the most experienced pacer to lead the Indian pace attack. 
 
Ever since the 2023 Cricket World Cup, Shami will play his first one-day international match, supposedly at the Vidarbha Stadium tomorrow. Ahead of the vital clash, Mohammed Shami will enter the field with 195 wickets to his name in the longest limited-overs format.

Shami, the Indian fast bowler, began his journey from the T20 Trophy starring for Bengal back in 2010, where he had one of the best debuts ever. Shami played for several franchises in the IPL the Delhi Daredevils, Punjab Kings, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolkata_Knight_Riders">Kolkata Knight Riders</a>, and Gujarat Titans, where he picked 127 career wickets in the franchise-level cricket tournament. 
 
Shami has played over three World Cups for India ever since his debut in 2013, as he has been India’s highest wicket-taker in the history of the CWC, playing over three editions in 2015, 2019 and 2023. With 450+ career wickets in the Men in Blue’s jersey, Shami, despite participation in several WTC and CWC games, could never be seen on the podium, though he won several individual records, the last being named the Player of the Tournament in the 2023 World Cup. 
 
<h2 dir="ltr">List of Bowlers fastest to reach 200 ODI wickets</h2>
