Indian squad for five-match One-Day International series against England

The Indian team lost the final match by an innings margin which meant England didn’t have to bat again. In the post match ceremony Dhoni was smiling as ever but he was not at all hesitant in saying that India lost the series because of the batmen. English captain on the other hand, seemed pretty happy as they won the series and are now crowned number 1 in tests.

The Indian team will be hoping for a better show in one dayers and both teams will play 5 ODI’s and one T-20 match in the coming days. It will be quite difficult for India to comeback from such a demoralizing defeat but they will have to fight hard to win.
