Nailed in test series, Dhoni faces dilemma over playing XI against England

New Delhi: After the humiliating test series, Team India is now set to shift the gear to the faster format of the game. They would look to make a fresh beginning and salvage lost pride



Virat Kohli

A typical modern-day cricketer, Virat Kohli plays his game aggressively, bares his emotions loudly in public, yet retains the element of maturity that forms an integral part of every good and great player. His useful 71 runs in the warm up against Middlesex is certainly going to help in the first one day.

Virat's presence in the team not only strengthens the middle order but he is a good fielder too. He went through his worst nightmare in the test series but his performance in South Africa and New Zealand tour where he was the lone fighter may seal his spot in the playing XI.

He was also the second his scorer in Asia Cup with a total of 189 runs including a brilliant innings of 136.

The master of ODIs had played 134 ODIs and scored 5634 runs with an average of 52 and strike rate of almost 90. His stats are the best in whole 17 man squad.
