[ad_1]
IND vs ENG: India captain Rohit Sharma on Sunday created a historic record of leading the Indian team in 100 International matches in the clash against England in Lucknow. The Men in Blue are up against the Three Lions at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow as they look to continue their unbeaten run. India are on a five-game winning streak while the defending champions England are in all sorts of trouble with just a single win in five outings.
Rohit Sharma has become the seventh Indian to lead the country in 100 International matches as he joins an elusive tally of Indian leaders. Sharma joins MS Dhoni, Mohammad Azharuddin, Virat Kohli, Sourav Ganguly, Kapil Dev and Rahul Dravid in the list of players to lead India in 100 or more than 100 International games. In the IND vs ENG clash, the English side has won the toss and asked India to bat first. This will be the first time that the hosts will be setting the target in the tournament. Both teams have made no changes to their playing XI.
India’s Playing XI:
Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj
England’s Playing XI:
