The return of England Joe Root to ODIs was a disappointing when he continued his bad run against Spinner Ravindra Jadeja on Thursday during the first ODI in Nagpur. During his 31-ball stay in the fold after England lost the Wicket to Phil Salt, the scoring opportunities of Root by India were well limited. Root could only score one border against Kuldeep Yadav. He was imprisoned Been-Betefore Wicket from Jadeja and broke a 44-run standard between skipper Jos Butler and Root. Against Jadeja in 10 innings in Odis, Root scored 133 points in 115 balls and has been rejected four times.
Root was an ODI regular for England until the 2019, the year in which they first won the ICC Cricket World Cup. In recent years he has become in a brilliant test specialist seizure. In 29 ODIs since 2020 Start he scored 685 points in 26 innings on average 28.54, with six half center to his name. His best score is 86.
The bad versions of the veteran have taken a toll from his ODI statistics. His stroke average, which was 51.36 at the end of 2019, deteriorated and reached 47.39. In 172 games he scored 6,541 points in 161 innings, with 16 centuries and 39 fifty. His best score is 133*.
When he came to the game, England won the pitch and chose to hit first.
After a fascinating T20i series ended with a thumping 4-1 for the hosts, India and England will now move their action to ODIs. The series will be the perfect opportunity for both parties to complete their winning combination for the upcoming Champions trophy.

Together with this Rishabh Pant is also missing in the playing XI and in his absence, Kl Rahul will keep the wickets.
