Virat Kohli is on the verge of making history, needing just 94 runs to surpass Sachin Tendulkar`s all-time record in ODIs. With an impressive tally of 13,906 runs from 283 ODI innings, Kohli boasts an average of 58.18 and a strike rate of 93.54, including 50 centuries and 72 half-centuries. If he reaches the milestone during this series, he will become the fastest player to achieve 14,000 ODI runs.
The Indian squad for the ODI series features a strong lineup, including Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, and Ravindra Jadeja. Notably, Harshit Rana will step in for Jasprit Bumrah for the first two matches.
India recently showcased their dominance over England in the fifth T20I, where Abhishek Sharma`s stellar performance, scoring 135 runs and taking two wickets, led India to a resounding victory by 150 runs, clinching the five-match series 4-1. Historically, India has excelled against England in ODIs at home, winning seven out of ten bilateral series, with England managing only one win and two series drawn.
