We are not just focusing on Kohli, says Buttler

India after winning the opening ODI lead the series 1-0. Asked if short deliveries were a challenge, he said it hardly mattered since the Indian batsmen scored maximum runs from short-balls in the match. And all the fans in India are expecting a similar kind of a nail-biting encounter between India and England in the upcoming second one-day worldwide which is scheduled to be held at the Barabati Stadium in the Cuttack.

With a huge turn out from the spectators in Pune for the first one-dayer, Odisha cricket association is hoping for a similar response for the second match at the Barabati Stadium.

“One thing he did was talk his partner through it at the other end and helped him construct his innings”. “He was brilliant and that’s why we back him to play at No. 6. We’ve seen how he’s changed scenarios and won games for England“. After his innings in the India vs England 1st ODI in Pune, former and current England players applauded Kohli, with a former England skipper even calling him the Cristiano Ronaldo of cricket.

I have read some criticism of England’s bowling unit in the wake of their defeat on Sunday, that they are not developing as quickly as the batting section, which has come on leaps and bounds since the 2015 World Cup.

But as a snarling middle-over aggressor with the most potent bouncer in the squad, Plunkett would appear to offer a more genuine wicket-taking threat than Chris Woakes who, for all his qualities, does not yet seem as comfortable for England with the white ball as the red.

“I think it was outstanding, just to have another guy that was willing to believe we can win from any situation was such a boost for me as well”. Basically, it has been told that current England team is one of the most balanced team ever in English history.

England will be more confident clashing with India in ODIs even though they have struggled in their last three series in the subcontinent.

The Indian team is already thrilled after a comfortable chase of more than 350 runs in the first match.

The loss in the first ODI match was especially hard to swallow for the English side.

Eoin Morgan and his men will have to bounce back as England search for the first win of their tour.

Chasing a hard 351-run target, the hosts were tottering at 63/4 but a 200-run fifth wicket partnership by Kohli and Kedar Jadhav put India in command. England score 270 while batting first.

Shikhar Dhawan especially will be keen to prove a point and come good in the game. It might sound harsh, but at the moment, it looks like Mishra would have to play the waiting game.
