India vs England 3rd ODI: Virat Kohli and Co. Set For Series Decider, All Eyes On Bowling Strategy

India and England square off for the third and final ODI in Pune with the series levelled at 1-1

India is all set for the decider ODI

India will look to seal the series in today's decider ODI against England after losing the last test match even after making a huge score and with every batsman performing in the match. Fans are eagerly waiting for Dhawan to break the jinx and get the century and of course, all eyes will be on the bowlers as strategists have commented that India needs to plan the bowling attack more efficiently.The match will once again take place in Pune amid empty stands. 

Chasing a mammoth 337, Jos Buttler-led England made a mockery of the run-chase riding on Jason Roy (55), Jonny Bairstow (124), and Ben Stokes' 99. Eventually, Eoin Morgan-less England won the clash by 6 wickets with more than six overs to spare to level the series. Thus, momentum will be on the visitors' side but they won't take the home side lightly given how they came back to win the series opener from a losing position. 

From India's perspective, Virat Kohli & Co. will be eager to see their bowlers' progress after the hammering they received at the hands of England's top-order in the second and penultimate ODI. It will be interesting to see if Kuldeep Yadav retains his place for the series decider after returning with figures of 10-0-84-0 in the previous game.

The visiting side, on the other hand, will be desperate to not only justify its World champion status and maintain the No. 1 ranking in ODIs but also ensure that the tour ends with at least one trophy. England will high on confidence while taking the field for the series decider versus India. Having missed their chances in the five T20Is, the visitors will like to sign off the tour with an ODI series triumph.
