Overview

• Shreyas Iyer scored a crucial 59 off 36 balls in India's four-wicket win over England after being a last-minute inclusion due to Virat Kohli's injury.
• Iyer's exclusion from the original playing XI, despite his consistent domestic and international performances, has drawn criticism from former players, including Ricky Ponting.
• India's team management is exploring left-right batting combinations, leading to reshuffles like Yashasvi Jaiswal's debut and Shubman Gill batting at No.3.
• England's batting lineup faltered despite a strong start, with poor shot selection and lack of game awareness contributing to their collapse.
• Virat Kohli, sidelined as a precaution for a knee issue, was seen enthusiastically supporting teammates from the dressing room and is expected to return for the second ODI.
