Virat Kohli replaces Jaiswal and Varun replaces Kuldeep
In the second ODI against England at Cuttack's Barabati Stadium on February 9, India has included Virat Kohli in the playing XI, while also handing an ODI debut to Varun Chakravarthy. Kohli replaces Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Chakravarthy comes in for Kuldeep Yadav. England, trailing 1-0 in the series, saw skipper Jos Buttler win the toss and elect to bat first. England made three changes, bringing in Mark Wood, Gus Atkinson, and Jamie Overton for Jofra Archer, Brydon Carse, and Jacob Bethell.
With India leading the three-match series 1-0 after winning the first ODI by 4 wickets, a victory in this match would give them an unassailable 2-0 lead. Eyes are on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to rediscover their form. In the previous match, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, and Axar Patel contributed to India's win. Iyer's return to the team, due to Kohli's injury in the previous match, saw him play a crucial innings alongside Gill.
The Barabati Stadium in Cuttack is known for variable bounce and assisting spinners, which could play a crucial role in the match.
