We’ve seen some unexpected results on this 2022 India tour of England so far. It began with the hosts completing a record 4th innings chase to win the final Test and level the series 2-2. From there, India would’ve been super happy to win the T20I series 2-1, especially since the home team is considered to be the best team in white ball cricket in current times. Now, we’re set for the 3-match ODI series!
The action begins at Kennington Oval in London with the 1st ODI and a few more squad changes were announced on both sides. We’ve seen 360+ being scored at this ground even during a chase and a highest ODI total of 398 here, so expect some big scoring like we saw in the 3rd T20I as well.

Numbers
- Head to head in last 5 ODIs, England leads 3-2.
- Joe Root – 548 runs in 11 games at this venue.
- 0, 4, 18 – Jos Buttler scores in the T20I series.
England
The in-form Jonny Bairstow returns after hitting four centuries in his last 5 Tests and he’s really in the best touch of his life. We believe he can replicate that form in the ODI format and that’s why he’s the first name in our ENG vs IND Dream11 team. With a great record here, Joe Root has more runs than anyone else at this venue among active cricketers, scoring at an average of 68+, so he can’t be left out of this team either.
David Willey and Sam Curran haven’t been a regular part of the England white ball setup in recent months but they’re great contributors with both bat and ball in these formats and we’re picking both of them today. In England’s last ODI here (vs Sri Lanka), the two of them shared 9 wickets. Matt Parkinson was torn apart as the lead spinner, so we’ll skip him and instead pick Moeen Ali in our team for the 1st ODI.
India
He may not be in the best form right now but Rohit Sharma has three fifties in 5 ODIs at this venue over the years, and he also has fond memories of the 2019 World Cup in England where he scored as many as 5 centuries, so he makes our ENG vs IND Dream11 team today. Back as his opening partner now, Shikhar Dhawan also has some great memories here, scoring at an average of 110+ so there’s going t be plenty of runs at the top.

Virat Kohli is likely to miss the 1st ODI because of a groin injury which means Suryakumar Yadav may slot in at number #3 but we’ll leave him out of our MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) ENG vs IND 1st ODI fantasy team as he hasn’t proved himself in this format yet. With the ball, the recent test captain who was high on confidence, Jasprit Bumrah is a must have while Prasidh Krishna could do well here too.
