India vs England 2nd ODI 2025: Live Telecast, Streaming, and Match Preview
- India leads the series 1-0 after a dominant win in Nagpur.
- Virat Kohli returns for the 2nd ODI, creating selection challenges.
- Barabati Stadium in Cuttack hosts the match, a venue where India hasn’t lost an ODI in 20 years.
Match Overview: India Aims to Seal Series Against England
India won the first ODI by 4 wickets after restricting England to 248 runs. Shubman Gill (87), Shreyas Iyer (59), and Axar Patel (52) led the chase, while debutant Harshit Rana took 3 wickets. Captain Rohit Sharma’s form remains a concern, but India’s strong batting depth gives them an edge.
England’s batting struggled against India’s spin attack, with only Jos Buttler (52) and Jacob Bethell (51) showing resistance. Their bowlers, including Adil Rashid and Jofra Archer, need tighter spells to level the series.

Team Updates: Kohli’s Return and England’s Strategy
Virat Kohli is fit for the 2nd ODI, replacing either Yashasvi Jaiswal or Shreyas Iyer Iyer’s quickfire 59 in Nagpur complicates this decision. India may also test spinner Varun Chakravarthy ahead of the Champions Trophy.
England could recall Mark Wood to boost their pace attack. Joe Root’s return adds experience, but their middle order needs stability against India’s Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav.
Probable XIs:
- India: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Harshit Rana.
- England: Jos Buttler (c), Phil Salt (wk), Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood
Barabati Stadium: Pitch Report and Match Predictions
The Barabati Stadium in Cuttack is a batting-friendly pitch with high scores expected. Teams batting first have won 60% of ODIs here. Dew in the evening could favor chasing teams.
India’s spinners, like Jadeja (3/26 in 1st ODI), will exploit the slow surface. England’s Adil Rashid must replicate his Nagpur performance (2 wickets) to contain India’s batters.
Prediction: India likely wins due to home advantage and stronger spin options
Road to Champions Trophy 2025: Why This Series Matters
Both teams use this series to finalize squads for the 2025 Champions Trophy. India tests bench strength (e.g., Harshit Rana), while England seeks redemption after a poor 2023 World Cup
Key Players to Watch:
- Shubman Gill (India): Averaging 58.9 in ODIs, he anchors the innings.
- Jos Buttler (England): His leadership and batting are vital for England’s revival
- Ravindra Jadeja (India): All-round excellence boosts India’s balance .
A series win here builds momentum for the Champions Trophy, where conditions in Pakistan (host nation) will challenge both teams.
