In the opening match, Kapil paaji had told me not to be late. Since then I keep my watch 7-8 minutes ahead, so that I don&#39;t get late anywhere. I will always remember his lesson.</p>

<p>For 2 years I played cricket without a bat sponsor, because tobacco companies were offering sponsorships.

I have definitely shared all my happiness with my father and my family.</p>

<p>The much-awaited 3-match One Day International (ODI) series between India and England is going to start on 06th February, 2025 at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Jamtha, Nagpur. The plans of both countries for ICC Trophy next&nbsp;<a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/icc-release-champions-trophy-schedule/1728" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline">ICC Champions Trophy 2025 </a>&nbsp;start from this series.</p>

<p>Get ready for thrilling encounters between the world&#39;s top team India, who recently won the ICC World Cup 2024 champions, and the other team England, who are the best in the ODI format. This series will be more entertaining and exciting.&nbsp;</p>

<h3><strong>India strategy</strong></h3>

<p>The defending T20 World Cup champions India have been playing very well, remaining undefeated in bilateral T20 series since August 2023. But if we go through, India have played very few ODI matches in the year 2024. Captain Rohit Sharma wants to get his form back from this series, as the Champion Trophy is a big challenge for him. Shubman Gill has recently been appointed as the vice-captain in this series. He will have new responsibilities in his new role. The aim of this strategy is to maximize performance in relation to specific situations and matchups.</p>

<h3><strong>England challenge</strong></h3>

<p>Brendon McCullum is England&#39;s new dual-format coach in the series and aims to develop an aggressive and entertaining style of cricket. The team captained by Jos Buttler has a mix of new potential with experience, especially wicketkeeper Jamie Smith and talented all-rounder Jacob Bethell. However, Buttler will play only as a batsman on this tour.</p>
