Shubman Gill warns Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli ahead of ODI series

India secured a six-wicket victory over England in the first ODI at Edgbaston on July 15. Despite the win, captain Shubman Gill emphasized the need for experienced players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to improve after they both struggled with the bat. Rohit scored 11 runs before being dismissed, while Kohli managed just five runs in his return from injury. Washington Sundar and Axar Patel's impressive 102-run partnership helped stabilize India's innings. Gill indicated that continued experimentation with player combinations is crucial for the team's preparation ahead of the 2027 World Cup. The second ODI is scheduled for July 16 at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff.
