Preview:
Now the contest moves to the Home of Cricket Lord’s as England will take on India in the 2nd ODI of the series on Thursday. England made a horrendous start to the series as they crumbled in the 1st ODI against the world-class pace unit and lost the match by 10 wickets. Sent into bat first, they made only 110 runs on the board with skipper Jos Buttler top-scoring for the hosts with 30 runs. Four of their premier batters bagged a duck which proved to be costly for them. It’s now all the pressure on them and they need to pull up their socks in order to remain in the contest. They look to make one or two changes in the bowling department for this game.
With some glorious bowling performances from Jasprit Bumrah who recorded his career-best ODI figures of 6 for 19 and later skipper Rohit Sharma’s astonishing batting display powered India to 10 wickets win in the 1st ODI with still 188 balls remaining in the match. They extracted the overcast conditions and bowled some impeccable lines and lengths where England batters went clueless. The former skipper Virat Kohli who missed the 1st ODI due to a groin injury remains doubtful for the 2nd ODI. They are leading the series 1-0 and will be eager to clinch it with a game left. They have a long tail and it’s the only weakness they have currently.

What are the Top Picks, players for Dream11, My11circle and MPL for ENG vs IND, 2nd ODI?
Top Pick – Batter
Chasing the modest target of 110 runs in the 1st ODI, skipper Rohit Sharma played some proper cricketing shots in his innings of 76* runs from 58 balls which included 7 fours and 5 sixes. He played the short deliveries quite well and took the England bowlers to the cleaners.
Top Pick – All-Rounder
Moeen Ali is an asset for England in the limited-overs format. On tough batting conditions in the 1st ODI, he managed to score 14 runs from 18 balls. He is highly skillful with the ball in the middle phases of the game.
Top Pick – Bowler
With mind-blowing bowling performances in the 1st ODI, Jasprit Bumrah registered his best ODI figures of 6 for 19 and was rewarded with the Player of the Match. He is now the new No.1 bowler in the ICC ODI rankings.
Top Pick – Wicketkeeper
Jos Buttler came in when England were struggling at 7 for 3 in the 1st ODI and tried to rebuild the innings however he was caught in the deep square leg when he was on 30. He is good at finishing things and is hoping for a much better show from his top-order batters.
X-Factor:
Jonny Bairstow had a bad day at the office in the 1st ODI where he just scored 7 runs and got out for an unplayable delivery from Jasprit Bumrah. He is a resilient batter and we can expect a better display of batting from him in this match.
What are the fantasy suggested teams for ENG vs IND, 2nd ODI?
1. Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow (c), Rishabh Pant, Rohit Sharma (vc), Shikhar Dhawan, Joe Root, Moeen Ali, Hardik Pandya, Mohammad Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, David Willey
2. Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Liam Livingstone (vc), Ravindra Jadeja, Ben Stokes, Hardik Pandya, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah, Reece Topley
