Englands star batting line-up has also not been in much form in the first two matches. In the hosts, batsmen like Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, and Liam Livingstone are batting defensively. It doesnt seem like he is the same player who scored 400 plus runs against the Netherlands.
The Rohit Sharma-led side displayed a very aggressive batting display during the recently concluded T20I series, which also led to considerable success. However, the manner in which the team chased down the target of a low score of 247 runs in the second ODI, it seems that India needs to be aggressive instead of defense.
Rohit will admit that he and the experienced Shikhar Dhawan became a bit too defensive in the face of brilliant swings from Englands Reece Topley and David Willey. Then the problem was compounded by the constant failure of Virat Kohli. The first two overs went maiden in front of experienced openers like Rohit and Dhawan. It doesnt show a positive mindset. So there will definitely need to be a change in the way we bat. In the first ODI at The Oval, Jasprit Bumrah single-handedly led the team to victory by taking six wickets. In such a situation, a similar performance will be expected from him in the third ODI as well.
Rohit Sharma- Rohit Sharma is a right-handed batsman from India who opens the innings for them. He has stacked 76 runs in this series so far and can play a huge role with the bat here as well.
Reece Topley- Reece Topley is a right-handed batsman and left-arm medium fast bowler from England. He has picked up 6 wickets in this series so far and can make a significant impact once again here.
