IND vs ENG: 5 Indian players you must have in your dream11 team during ODI series

The three-match IND vs ENG ODI series will be played from February 6 to 12.

It was a dominating performance by India over England in the recently concluded T20I series, which they won 4-1. Now the action moves to the 50-over format. These two teams will take on each other in a three-match ODI series, beginning on February 6 in Nagpur.

The other two games will take place on February 9 and 12 in Cuttack and Ahmedabad respectively. Rohit Sharma will lead India, with all the big guns barring Jasprit Bumrah available.

It will be the final phase of preparations for India for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. In this article, we will talk about the five Indian players you must take in your Dream11 fantasy team for the this ODI series.

Five Indian players you must have in your Dream11 teams during the IND vs ENG ODI series:

5. Rohit Sharma

While he was in terrible form in test cricket, you can’t ignore captain Rohit Sharma from your Dream11 teams during the ODI series. He has been a great white-ball player for a dozen years, and in this format, he is unstoppable if he gets going.

India will play three matches on good batting wickets, and Rohit, on his day, can single-handedly win fantasy contests if you make him your Dream11 captain. He was India’s best batsman during their last ODI series in Sri Lanka.

4. Virat Kohli

Just like Rohit, Virat Kohli is someone who can’t be ignored while picking any ODI team in the world. Though he struggled to outside off-stump deliveries in Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024/25, ODI cricket is his forte and he is the best in the world at pacing run-chases.

A batting average of 58.18 with strike rate of 90+ is a rare combination for an ODI batsman, even in modern-day white-ball cricket. Kohli would be eager to get runs under his belt and win matches for India again.

3. Arshdeep Singh

If we look at the Indian squad for the upcoming ODI series, Arshdeep Singh is among the few players who is in form. The left-arm pacer is coming off a great T20I season, where he became India’s leading wicket-taker in the shortest format.

He swings the new ball both ways, takes wickets, and is a trustable bowler in death overs as well. He is someone who can give you a couple of wickets per game, which makes him an ideal bowler to have in your IND vs ENG Dream11 teams.

2. Ravindra Jadeja

Star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja will be back in action in the ODIs for the first time since the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, having been rested from the two ODI series in the interim period. He recently bagged two fifers on his Ranji Trophy return and will be looking to take that form into the ODI series against England.

Jadeja gives you fantasy cricket points in all three departments, which make him a valuable asset while picking Dream11 teams. England struggled against spin in the T20Is and the demons could play on their mind in the ODIs as well.

1. Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya has been India’s crucial balancing cricketer in white-ball teams over the past decade. His improvement as a bowler has helped India a lot as they can add an either extra batsman or spinner to their XI.

He can even be played as the first-change seamer and with the bat, he is a proper match-winner. Hardik can be a perfect choice to make captain or vice-captain of your Dream11 teams during the ODIs against England.
