Kohli, Rohit Begin Preparations
The video showed Kohli and Rohit batting in the nets ahead of the 50-over assignment.
With India’s ODI squad boasting several experienced names, expectations will once again rest heavily on the two modern-day greats to steady the team.
Their return comes as Rohit Sharma’s first assignment since the Afghanistan series last month, while Kohli will step back in action for the first time since the IPL 2026 final, having dealt with a hamstring injury.

India Looking To Bounce Back
India head into the ODI series determined to erase memories of a forgettable T20I stretch overseas.
Shreyas Iyer’s side failed to register a single victory across the tour, suffering a 2-0 series defeat in Ireland before enduring a 4-0 whitewash against England in the five-match series.
The poor run has already prompted discussions within the BCCI, with secretary Devajit Saikia confirming that a performance review meeting will be held after the England tour to assess what went wrong.
With the focus now shifting to the ODI format, India will hope the experience of Kohli and Rohit, who have remarkable stats in England, can inspire a turnaround and restore confidence before the team’s next major international assignments.
