India's predicted playing XI for the ODIs against England

#8 Bhuvaneshwar Kumar

Mr. Swing of the Indian bowling lineup. One of the most consistent bowlers in India, Bhuvi deserves to play each of the one dayers leading up to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. He has the genuine ability to swing the ball both ways and trouble the batsman, and can also bowl excellent yorkers at the death to curb the flow of runs. With his excellent abilities as a bowler and the ability to bat at the tail, Bhuvi is a big asset to India.

#9 Kuldeep Yadav

India being a team from the subcontinent, has its strength in spin. They have always produced quality spinners who have troubled non-subcontinental batsman and that is why it is very obvious that India will play 2 spinners against England.

Kuldeep Yadav has been very very successful in picking those crucial wickets in the middle overs and not letting the opposition get good partnerships. With his unusual chinaman action, Kuldeep has successfully tricked several batsmen into getting out LBW. His first and only ODI hattrick came against Australia last year, and he will be key to India's middle overs' bowling against England.

#10 Umesh Yadav

In the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, India need a quality and experienced fast bowler who can bowl alongside Bhuvaneshwar in the first spell and swing the ball. Umesh Yadav, with his express pace and accuracy, can do wonders for India on English pitches. He has the ability to hit the deck hard and swing the ball, and can pick early wickets.

With the outstanding IPL performance behind him, he is a player to watch out for. Umesh can also reverse swing the ball and can maintain his pace for long periods of time, things that could help India immensely in British conditions.

#11 Yuzvendra Chahal

As mentioned before, India's strength in terms of bowling lies in spin, and Yuzvendra Chahal is at the moment the best spinner in India. He has proven himself with the ball time and again, and it is a no-brainer to include him in the playing XI. Chahal does not leak too many runs and also picks wickets. He can trick the English batsman into playing stupid shots and giving away their wickets.
