The first ODI game between the two teams will be played at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Nagpur, on Thursday at 1:30 PM IST.
England had a horrible T20I series, losing it 1-4. They couldn't bat against the Indian spinners but will take a sigh of relief after the return of Joe Root. He has scored runs in India and is in good form. Meanwhile, for India, Rohit Sharma will be back, leading the team. Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja, and KL Rahul will also be making their comebacks.
This series is important for both teams as they will prepare for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Below, we will talk about big records and milestones which are lined up and can be achieved in the first IND vs ENG ODI in Nagpur.
