IND vs ENG: Team India’s arrival in Pune for ODI series against England. The clock

The Indian cricket team reached Pune on Sunday for a three-match ODI series against England. The hosts had won the five-match T20I series with a 36-run win over England in a decisive match in Ahmedabad on Saturday. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) posted a video on Twitter featuring snippets from the airport. “Namaste Pune, here we are,” the video was captioned. Members of the Indian squad posted pictures on social media during their trip from Ahmedabad to Pune.

Rohit Sharma was the first of the Indian cricketers to share a picture on social media during his visit to Pune.

All-rounder Hardik Pandya also posted a picture with his “forever companion” – his son Agastya.

India had named a strong 18-man squad for the upcoming ODI series, which included three positive debutants from Krunal Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav and Prisidh Krishna.

While Krishna and Krunal were honored for their performances in the Indian domestic 50-over tournament – the Vijay Hazare Trophy, Suryakumar’s blistering half-century innings saw them earn their first ODI call-up.

India won the Test series 3–1 after losing the opening match in Chennai and did the same in T20Is.

The hosts were dismissed as openers, but came back from behind to win the series 3–2.

Promoted

England have also named their 14-man squad for the final leg of their Indian tour.

Joffra Archer will miss the series due to an elbow injury while David Malan, Chris Jordan and Jake Ball have been named as reserve players.
