India's predicted playing XI against England for the 1st ODI

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal and Siddarth Kaul

Siddarth Kaul

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has had a torrid time over the last 3-4 months due to the injury problems he has had. He also missed the last T20I against England due to a stiff back. He will spearhead the bowling attack and his form will be vital for India's fortunes. The swing king has picked up 90 wickets in 86 matches at an economy rate of 5. In England, he has picked up 18 wickets in 14 matches while conceding at 4.3 per over.

Kuldeep Yadav has gone on to establish himself as one of the best spinners in the limited overs format over the last year. The chinaman bowler has formed a lethal bowling partnership with Yuzvendra Chahal for India. picked up 5 wickets in the first T20I but looked bleak in the second match. He has picked up 39 wickets in 18 matches at an economy rate of 4.8.

Yuzvendra Chahal has been as good as Kuldeep Yadav for India. He has been a match winner for India and is perhaps the best spinner in the country. He has always had Virat Kohli's faith in him and that shows how good he is. The leg spinner has picked up 42 wickets in 25 matches at an economy rate of 4.76. Although he picked up only 1 wicket in the T20 series against England, one can expect him to deliver in the ODIs.

Siddarth Kaul's rise has been rapid and an excellent one to watch. He made a name for himself during IPL 2017 when he established himself as a capable bowler and bettered his performances in this year's IPL and hence earned a national call-up. He has played 2 T20I's so far and picked up 3 wickets at an economy of 6.5.

He has picked up 112 wickets in his 61 List A games at an economy of 5. He is yet to make his ODI debut.
