Kohli & Rohit Arrive in Nagpur as India Gears Up for 1st ODI Against England
India ODI series against England kicks off on February 6 in Nagpur, following a dominant 4-1 T20I win. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli arrived on February 2, sparking excitement among fans. Kohli, fresh from a disappointing Ranji Trophy return, aims for redemption, while India eyes Champions Trophy preparation. The squad includes stars like Hardik Pandya and Shubman Gill.
For the upcoming three-match ODI series against England, Team India, fresh from a 4-1 T20I series victory, has arrived in Nagpur for the opening match on February 6 at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium. The series is crucial as India gears up for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, with senior players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli rejoining the squad.
On February 2, Rohit and Kohli landed in Nagpur, sparking excitement among fans. Rohit arrived from Mumbai after attending the BCCI Naman Awards, while Kohli flew in from Delhi, following his much-anticipated return to Ranji Trophy cricket after 12 years. Kohli’s Ranji comeback, however, was disappointing, as he managed just six runs before being dismissed by Railways’ Himanshu Sangwan.
The ODI series serves as a key preparation ground for India’s Champions Trophy campaign in Pakistan and Dubai next year. Apart from Rohit and Kohli, stars like Hardik Pandya, Shubman Gill, and Arshdeep Singh are set to play pivotal roles. India last faced England in an ODI in October 2023, securing a dominant 100-run win, with Rohit scoring 87 runs. The team now aims to build momentum ahead of global challenges, making this series a vital test.
