5 Indian players who have a point to prove in upcoming England series

All eyes will be on Virat Kohli to see how he goes as limited-overs skipper

Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj impressed in the warm-up match but he will need to keep up his good form

Having made his T20I comeback in 2016 before injury forced him to sit out during the World T20, Yuvraj Singh isn't someone who is new to making comebacks. But having past played an ODI in 2013, there are still some doubts about whether he can cut in a format in which he made his name.

The 35-year-old dispelled some of that with his fifty against England in the first warm-up match but what was also evident in that match was his uneasiness at facing the short ball. If Yuvraj is to be on the squad to the Champions Trophy, not only will he have to fire in the ODI and T20I series to show that he has still got it, but do so without dredging up a familiar flaw.

As the most experienced member of the ODI side, Yuvraj certainly has the talent to pull through and silence his critics. Virat Kohli will be hoping that he does just that as he looks at the combination that will help India claim their second successive Champions Trophy.
