Key Players to watch out for

Shubman Gill: Vice captain Shubman Gill has shown consistent form in both the games and turned out to become the highest run getter in the series so far. Batting at number three in Nagpur and as an opening batter in Cuttack, Gill scored a half-century in both the matches.

Axar Patel: Axar Patel has been a silent performer in the series with his economical bowling and crucial batting performance while coming at the middle order. With a fifty in the first game and 41 runs in Cuttack, Axar played a crucial role in India’s win in both the matches.

Joe Root: England’s Joe Root showed good form with a steady half-century in the second ODI. However, the star batter has an ability to anchor the innings and end up playing a big knock and will be looking to play the same role third ODI and save England from a clean sweep.

Ben Duckett: Ben Duckett is England’s leading run getter in the series so far and has given good starts in both the matches. However, Duckett will be looking to convert his start into a big knock and guide England to a winning total.
