IND vs ENG: Virat Kohli To Ben Stokes, Players To Watch Out For As India Face England Challenge In Lucknow

IND vs. ENG, ODI World Cup 2023: India's next match is against the reigning champions England. They will be trying to keep their winning streak going in the ODI World Cup 2023, which starts on Sunday.

The last time these two teams played, in the 2019 ODI World Cup in Birmingham, the Men in Blue lost.

So far, though, England is not having the best event. They are still in ninth place in the points table with just one win and two points.

The last time these two teams played, Rohit Sharma's team beat New Zealand, but this time they lost badly to Sri Lanka.

There are a lot of stars on both teams, and they will all be trying to make it count by making important plays for their teams.

The Blues have been in great shape in every way, and their strong batting group is really hitting it out of the park.

So far in the tournament, both pace and spin attacks have showed promise in helping India's quest stay on track.

On the other hand, the English players have had trouble in every area so far, but they will do their best to win the very important match.

Here are some players to keep an eye on in the ODI World Cup 2023 match between India and England:

India's Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli has been in great shape during the event, and he has scored 354 runs in five innings, making him India's top run scorer.

He has three fifty scores and a hundred against Bangladesh, and he will be looking for more to keep up his good form and help the team move forward.

In the last game, they beat New Zealand by 95 runs, which was a big win for the team.

Mr. Rohit Sharma

India has won all of their games so far in the event thanks to Rohit Sharma.

The captain has been great with the bat at the top of the order, and he has been playing aggressively to score a lot of runs in the first few overs and put pressure on the other team.

With 311 runs in five innings, he is the second most valuable player for the Men in Blue.

The Bumrah Jasprit

Bumrah has been very reliable for India so far, and his bowling is the best in the team.

So far, in five games, he has taken 11 wickets, which is the most on the team.

Stokes, Ben

Even though England's other batters did not play very well, Stokes put together a strong 43-run game against Sri Lanka.

He gave England hope for a great comeback, which helped them go from 68/3 to 137/8.

Since England's chances of making it to the semifinals are almost gone, Stokes can go all out without fear of losing and hurt India's chances going forward.

Cricket fans will also be hoping for a Stokes show in the tournament. It would be best for England if that show happened against the most reliable team in the event.

Joe Root

Joe Root, who has already scored 175 runs in five games at an average of 35.0, could be England's best player against India.

So far in the event, he has two fifty scores and a best score of 82 runs.

England needs their experienced player to perform well on the big stage because their chances of making it to the semi-finals are already in danger.
