The series marks the perfect dress rehearsal for the Champions Trophy which gets underway from February 19th in Pakistan. With this, the England Tour of India 2025 will end. 

India will buzz confidently after securing the T20I series 4-1 and proving why they are the T20 Champions. They found a new gem, Abhishek Sharma who finished as the leading run-scorer in the India vs England T20I series with 279 runs across 5 innings, while Varun Chakravarthy was adjudged the Player of the Series for his astounding bowling performances where he picked up 14 wickets. 

Veteran stars Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja who all announced their T20I retirement at the same time, are back on the ODI side.

India vs England ODI Series Preview:

In the series preview, apart from analyzing both squads, we have also mentioned the Indian National Cricket Team vs England Cricket Team Stats. 

India ODI Squad Analysis:

India Recent form: 

Lost, Lost, Tied, Won, Lost

India Squad:

Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Shreyas Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Shami, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant (wk), Axar Patel, KL Rahul (wk), Washington Sundar, Jasprit Bumrah (3rd ODI only). 

The highly anticipated India squad for the ODI series against England and the Champions Trophy 2025 is out. The squad resembles almost the same with Harshit Rana will be only part of the ODI series while prolific speedster Jasprit Bumrah, who is carrying a back injury will be part of the India vs England 3rd ODI only. Depending on the nature of his injury, Bumrah’s Champions Trophy fate will be decided. 

Rohit Sharma, who had a disastrous run in Australia in the Border Gavaskar Trophy has been retained as the ODI captain, while young gun Shubman Gill got a hike with additional responsibilities as he was named the vice-captain. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who is the regular starter for India in Tests and T20Is has earned his first ODI call-up.

ODI run-machine, Virat Kohli will take his usual No.3 spot and his future will be determined by his performances in the India vs England ODI series as well as in the Champions Trophy. 

Shreyas Iyer, who showcased his white-ball stature during the Syed Mushtaq Ali and Vijay Hazare Trophy will start at No.4. There is a tough fight between KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant for the wicket-keeper slot. 

It seems both Skipper Rohit Sharma and Head Coach Gautam Gambhir wanted more all-rounders in the squad and the selectors responded to their call, picking up 4 of them in the mix, including Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, and Ravindra Jadeja, interestingly 3 of them are spin-bowling all-rounders. Chinaman, Kuldeep Yadav is the only specialist tweaker in the squad. 

Mohammed Shami, who last featured in an ODI back in November 2023, was included in the ODI squad after 14 long months, he will come at the expense of Mohammed Siraj, who has been surprisingly omitted from the side citing his lack of effectiveness with the old ball. 

India’s leading wicket-taker in T20Is, Arshdeep Singh has been rewarded a place for his hard work. 

Men in Blue last played their ODI in August 2024, ending the year without a win in the 50-over format. The side looks composed in all areas and likely to emerge on top in the India vs England ODI series. 

England ODI Squad Analysis:

England Recent form: 

Lost, Won, Lost, Lost, Won

England Squad: 

Jos Buttler (c), Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Ben Duckett, Liam Livingstone, Saqib Mahmood, Jamie Overton, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Phil Salt (wk), Jamie Smith (wk), Mark Wood. 

Miseries are compounding for England in white-ball formats and the preceding 4-1 loss in the T20I series against India isn’t the perfect start for Brendon McCullum’s coaching stint, who began his tenure with the India vs England T20I series. 

After the league exit in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, Three Lions have featured in 11 ODIs and managed to win 4 of those, and the result is they lost all the 3 bilateral series against West Indies (2-1), Australia (3-2) and West Indies (2-1). 

The current 15-member squad for the India vs England ODI series and the Champions Trophy features a mixture of experience and fire of youth. Jos Buttler, who will be leading the side might be axed from the captaincy role if the expectations aren’t met. Experienced Joe Root’s inclusion will bolster their batting line-up. 

Phil Salt, Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jacob Bethell, Jos Buttler, and Liam Livingstone will form their batting line-up. With Phil Salt keeping wickets in the India vs England T20I series, he might extend the same job in the India vs England ODI series. Jamie Smith is the other wicket-keeping batting option they have.

Brydon Carse and Jamie Overton are the seaming all-rounders in the squad, who are all flexible for any position and can bowl at any point in time. Jofra Archer and Mark Wood are the frontline seamers with Gus Atkinson and Saqib Mahmood serving as a backup. Adil Rashid will have huge responsibilities on his shoulders being the sole genuine spinner and England also have choices with Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, and Joe Root, who all can provide handy overs of spin during the middle overs. The last time they toured India for the ODI series was in 2021, where they lost 2-1. 

Tackling spin is going to be a big concern for England, who had no clue whatsoever during the preceding T20I series where they were largely troubled by mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy. 

India vs England ODI Series 2025 – Players to Watch Out for

1. Virat Kohli

After a dominant show in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, Virat Kohli (765 runs) who bagged the Player of the Tournament award for his astounding batting performances, featured in only 3 ODIs since then and had scores of 24, 14, and 20 during India’s visit to Sri Lanka for the 3-match ODI series in which India lost 2-0. Having accumulated a whopping 13906 runs in 295 ODIs, Kohli will be keen to add more runs to his belt. He just loves batting in home conditions and his big-game prowess will come in handy in the ICC Champions Trophy. 

He is going to be the key batter in the India vs England ODI series. Virat Kohli will form the majority of the India vs England highlights if he plays to his potential. 

2. Joe Root

Joe Root, who last featured in England colours in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 has been included in the ODI squad purely on the merit of his batting expertise having played before in Indian conditions, and also based on his big match temperament. Root found his rhythm during the SA20 2025, where he made 279 runs and picked up 5 across 8 matches while representing Paarl Royals. His off-breaks are a huge plus for England and they need to be wise to use Root’s skill set.

In his 171 ODIs, Joe Root has gathered 6522 runs at an average of 47.6 and picked up 27 wickets. Keep a close look at him in the India vs England ODI series.

Reigning T20 champions, India are set for their first T20I assignment this year as they host England in the 5-matches T20I series. Taking the Champions Trophy 2025 into consideration, the selectors have picked the right blend of the squad that features 4 players, who have been part of the Indian Test squad that travelled to Australia. The T20I series also marks the return of speedster, Mohammed Shami into the International arena after a gap of 14 months. Suryakumar Yadav continues to lead the side, while all-rounder Axar Patel elevated to the vice-captaincy role.

India vs England T20 Series Preview

India T20I Squad Analysis:

Recent Form: Won, Won, Lost, Won, Won

Squad:

Suryakumar Yadav (c), Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Rinku Singh, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel (vc), Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakravarthy, Washington Sundar.

Starting the year with a Test loss away from home isn’t the result Team India would have wanted first up but their focus now shifts towards the shortest format. India enjoyed notable accolades last year including – a T20 World Championship, a 3-1 win against South Africa (away), a 3-0 win over Sri Lanka (away) and a 4-1 win against Zimbabwe (away). They finished the year with 24 wins out of 26 T20Is they played, while their couple of losses have come against South Africa and Zimbabwe. 

The selectors have made plenty of changes from their 3-1 away series win over South Africa, with no place for Ramandeep Singh, Vyshak Vijay Kumar, Jitesh Sharma, Yash Dayal, and Avesh Khan. Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harshit Rana, Washington Sundar, and Dhruv Jurel, who are all part of the India squad that featured in the 5-match Test series against Australia have been drafted into the squad. 

Harshit Rana, who made his Test debut in the tour down under is in the line for his T20I debut. Dhruv Jurel has been considered as the back-up wicket-keeper for in-form Sanju Samson. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar are the obvious choices following their commendable performances of late across formats. 

In a major update, experienced pacer, Mohammed Shami has been picked up for the upcoming India vs England T20Is after being sidelined due to a heel injury for 14 long months. The 34-year-old proved his fitness by representing Bengal in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy. He bagged 11 wickets in 9 matches in the SMAT while he managed 5 wickets across 3 matches in the 50-over format. He would have made it to the India Test squad for the Australia Tour in the mid-way if he hadn’t picked up soreness in his knee. 

Among the notable absentees for the England T20Is are Rishabh Pant, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shubman Gill, who are likely rested with the Champions Trophy around the corner, however, all 3 made themselves available for the Ranji Trophy fixtures for their respective State teams which resumes on January 23rd just one day after the 1st T20I against England. 

Abhishek Sharma is a happy man, who regained his place despite a modest start to his T20I career, making 256 runs across 11 innings at an average of 23.27. The upcoming IND vs ENG T20Is will be crucial for him to keep his place in the long run. 

Sanju Samson should be thankful for the current Gautam Gambhir coaching panel, who trusted his ability and handed him plenty of opportunities and he didn’t disappoint them, guess what, he has 3 centuries in his last 5 T20Is. He will be the first-choice wicket-keeper batter for India in the forthcoming IND vs ENG T20I series. 

Despite proving his ability in the shortest format, Tilak Varma wasn’t getting the chances regularly however in his comeback trail in the South Africa tour, he slammed 280 runs in 4 matches that included 2 unbeaten centuries. Promotion to the No.3 turned out to be a blessing for the 22-year-old. Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, and Tilak Varma will form the top 3 for India in the India vs England T20Is. 

The middle order features the likes of well-known hitters including Suryakumar Yadav, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Hardik Pandya, and Rinku Singh. Axar Patel will fill the place of a spin all-rounder, while Washington Sundar has to fight for his spot in the starting eleven. 

Coming to the bowling department, Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Shami will spearhead the attack, with Harshit Rana as backup. Having fast bowling all-rounders Hardik Pandya and Nitish Kumar Reddy is a blessing. Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi are the genuine spinners in the mix.

With the kind of progress India witnessed in the shortest format in 2024, expectations are huge as they head into their first T20I assignment in 2025. 

England T20I Squad Analysis

Recent Form: NR, Lost, Won, Won, Won

Squad:

Jos Buttler (c & wk), Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Ben Duckett, Liam Livingstone, Saqib Mahmood, Jamie Overton, Adil Rashid, Rehan Ahmed, Phil Salt (wk), Jamie Smith (wk), Mark Wood. 

England have named their strongest T20I squad for their upcoming India tour led by Jos Buttler. They even announced their ODI squad for the bilateral series against India and the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy. 

The T20I setup got a major overhaul, which featured in the 3-1 series win over West Indies a couple of months back. Will Jacks, Reece Topley, Sam Curran, Dan Mousley, Jordan Cox, John Turner, Jafer Chohan, and Michael Pepper have been omitted from the squad. 

Among all, the exclusion of Will Jacks was surprising, who managed 112 runs in 4 T20Is in the bilaterals against West Indies. Since making his T20I debut in 2022, Jacks failed to score a half-century in the 21 innings he batted and has accumulated 383 runs at an average of 18.23 with the best score of 40. 

An underwhelming series with the ball, proved tough for all-rounder, Sam Curran, who went at an economy of 9.66 without picking up a wicket. With the bat, he did make good contributions, adding 65 runs in 2 innings. 

Harry Brook, Gus Atkinson, Brydon Carse, and Ben Duckett who weren’t considered for selection to the Caribbean Tour to prepare for the New Zealand Test series have been picked up in the Three Lions squad for the upcoming IND vs ENG T20s. 

Uncapped in T20Is, The 24-year-old wicket-keeper batter, Jamie Smith, who was on paternity leave and skipped the New Zealand Test series, was named in the T20 squad for the England tour of India 2025. 

The talk of the town in the current cricketing world, young prospect, Jacob Bethell retains his place in the squad. Bethell is currently representing Melbourne Renegades in the ongoing Big Bash League. 

The 35-year-old pacer, Mark Wood, who last represented England in a Test match against Sri Lanka in August named in the T20 squad for the India vs England T20I series. 

Paceman, Saqib Mahmood who is of Pakistani descent, facing a visa delay from India, and his participation in the IND vs ENG will be known in a few days. 

After thoroughly analyzing their squad, their batting looks dangerous having well-known hitters in their ranks such as Jos Buttler, Phil Salt, Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, and Jacob Bethell. All-rounder, Jamie Overton can score handy runs down the order. 

They have one of the best pace attacks in the world, featuring Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Brydon Carse, Mark Wood, and Jamie Overton. Adil Rashid is the only genuine tweaker in the mix, he will get good support from Rehan Ahmed, Liam Livingstone, and Jacob Bethell. 

Three Lions last toured India for the bilateral T20Is in 2021, where they lost closely by a 3-2 margin. They will look forward to improving their results this time. 

India vs England T20Is 2025 – Players to Watch Out For

Tilak Varma: 

Tilak Varma emerged as a different player altogether when he was promoted to No.3 in the South African tour. The 22-year-old turned his beast mode on and guess what, he slammed two unbeaten centuries at Centurion (107*) and Johannesburg (120*), before he made 33 and 20 at No.4. With the next T20 World Cup scheduled to take place in the sub-continent, the management wants to groom him further, giving more chances at the top of the order. 

 India vs England Prediction – Tilak Varma to be the top scorer in the series

Phil Salt:

Phil Salt is well versed with the Indian conditions, playing for Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League. The 28-year-old is a fearless batter, who already crossed the 1000-run mark in the T20Is in 38 T20Is. He is set to feature for the first time in a T20I in India and prior experience will come in handy for sure. 

He had an outstanding 2024 with the bat in T20Is, finishing as the leading run-scorer for England with 467 runs in 17 matches at an average of 38.91 with the best score of 103*.

India vs England Prediction

Our India vs England Prediction is in favour of India winning the series by a 3-2 margin. 

How many times did India beat England?
