NEW DELHI: India's quest for a series win against England faces two towering challenges - captain Rohit Sharma's prolonged dry spell and the selection conundrum that may arise with Virat Kohli's potential return. Having taken a 1-0 lead with a hard-fought four-wicket win in Nagpur, India will aim to seal the series when the teams face off in the second ODI in Cuttack on Sunday.
Kohli's absence in the opening match due to a "sore right knee" had raised concerns about his fitness, particularly with the Champions Trophy just around the corner. However, vice-captain Shubman Gill hinted at a possible return, and Kohli's relaxed demeanor in Cuttack suggests he might be ready to rejoin the playing XI.
