India's predicted XI in ODIs after five years

England v India - 1st ODI: Royal London One-Day Series

#2. Middle-order:

Virat Kohli

India v Pakistan - 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup

The current Indian captain is arguably the best ODI batsman in the world today, especially while chasing. He has single-handedly taken India to numerous victories and we could expect him to perform well for many years to come.

Unless he suffers an injury, he will continue to play for India for a long time, even in 2023. However, he might not be captaining the side then.

KL Rahul

England v India - 1st Vitality International T20

KL Rahul, the 26-year-old, could be India's permanent solution to the No. 4 problem. He has had a great IPL season in 2018. He has the potential to make it big in the international arena. The selectors need to have a faith on him and give him a long run in the ODI setup.

He has a solid technique and can score runs at a brisk pace.
