Shubman-Virat will not play in the first ODI? (PC-GETTY IMAGES)
Team India, which lost the T20 series against England, will now challenge the British in the ODI series. The first match of the ODI series will be played on 14 July at Edgbaston. Before this match, Team India sweated profusely in Edgbaston. However, a shocking video came out from this practice session itself, after which it is difficult to believe Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill. Hey, don’t be surprised, in fact both these players looked very upset in front of the net bowlers during practice, the video of both of them has gone viral on social media.
Virat-Shubman faced trouble
Virat Kohli And Shubman Gill both looked upset during the practice session at Edgbaston. Shubman Gill was completely dodged by a bowler’s ball and his wicket was blown away. Similar was the condition of Virat Kohli also. Virat Kohli looked in trouble in front of the net bowlers. He was beaten several times and the ball was not hitting the middle of his bat. This picture is not suitable for any Indian fan. Let us tell you that if players feel difficulty in playing the ball like this, then it means that they are not in good rhythm. In such a situation, it is better not to expect Virat-Gill to play big innings in the first ODI.
🚨Big Concern for Team India🚨::
Shubman Gill is struggling very badly during nets, he is unable to play spin and pace both. The biggest problem is Virat Kohli is also not looking very comfortable.

Shubman Gill will play in England for the first time
The England ODI series will also be challenging for Shubman Gill because he will be playing an ODI series in this country for the first time. Gill has never played an ODI match against England on its own soil. In such a situation, it may take one or two matches for them to adjust to the conditions here. Although Shubman Gill is a top player in ODI cricket. He has scored 3191 runs in 64 ODI matches at an average of more than 59, which includes 18 half-centuries and 9 centuries. This player has scored one century and 2 half-centuries in 4 matches against England. Gill has scored 268 runs at an average of 67.
Virat Kohli’s performance in England
Virat Kohli’s record in England is very bad. Although Virat Kohli has scored 14797 runs in ODIs at an average of more than 58, but in England this player has been able to score only 581 runs at an average of 38.73. His strike rate is also 86.3. In such a situation, it will not be easy for Virat to score runs in the England ODI series.
