India vs England 1st ODI Match Preview
A major talking point for England is the return of Joe Root to the ODI setup. The experienced batter, playing his first 50-over match since 2023, will bolster the visitors’ middle order alongside Harry Brook, captain Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone, and Jacob Bethell. England’s opening pair will consist of Phil Salt, who has also been entrusted with wicketkeeping duties, and Ben Duckett. The pace attack will be spearheaded by Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, and Saqib Mahmood, while Adil Rashid and Livingstone will handle spin duties.

India enters the ODI series on the back of a commanding 4-1 victory in the preceding T20I series. With Rohit Sharma leading the squad, the Men in Blue welcome back key players such as Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja, and Kuldeep Yadav. Spinner Varun Chakravarthy, who impressed in the T20Is, has also earned a call-up.
For England, this series presents an opportunity to bounce back after the T20I drubbing and fine-tune their squad ahead of the Champions Trophy, which is set to be played in Pakistan and the UAE later this month. The action will shift to Cuttack for the second ODI on February 9, with the series concluding in Ahmedabad on February 12.
IND vs ENG Head to Head Record
The head-to-head record in ODIs tilts slightly in India’s favor. In 106 encounters, India has won 57 matches, while England has claimed victory in 44. Five matches ended without a result. At the Nagpur venue, England has played only one ODI, securing a win against the Netherlands in the 2011 World Cup by six wickets. India, on the other hand, has had mixed success here, winning their last three ODIs at the venue but suffering earlier defeats against Sri Lanka and South Africa.
Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium Pitch Report
The VCA Stadium pitch is known for being batting-friendly, with an average first-innings score of 288 in the nine ODIs played here. India’s 354/7 against Australia in 2009 remains the highest total at the venue, while the highest successful chase was India’s 351/4 against Australia in 2013. Historically, the surface offers good bounce, encouraging stroke play, but it tends to slow down in the second innings, bringing spinners into play. Teams winning the toss may prefer to bat first and set a formidable target.
India vs England Weather Forecast
The weather forecast for the match day is favorable, with hazy sunshine and a maximum temperature of 31°C. A light northeast wind is expected, with no significant cloud cover and just a 1% chance of precipitation, ensuring an uninterrupted contest.
Key players to watch include Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for India, with Kohli holding the record for the most runs at this venue (325 runs in five innings). For England, Jos Buttler’s aggressive approach will be crucial, while Joe Root’s experience in subcontinent conditions could make a difference. In the bowling department, Jofra Archer will look to challenge India’s top order, while Kuldeep Yadav’s spin threat will test England’s middle order.

India Squad: Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Varun Chakaravarthy.
