IND Playing 11: India and England will be back it again in the three match ODI series. India registered a 3-1 win in the Test series and completely outplayed the visitors. However, England did display a bit of character in the five match T20I series. At one stage England had the lead by 2-1, and were looking firm favorites to win the Paytm Trophy. But the Men in Blue bounced back in grand manner to win the final two games and the series in the process as well. Virat Kohli and his men will now be looking to carry on the momentum in the ODI series but could have a more challenging test, considering that England are the defending world champions.
