India vs England 2nd ODI LIVE SCORE: Virat Kohli returns to Indian playing XI, will Shreyas Iyer sit out?

India vs England 2nd ODI LIVE SCORE: India will get Virat Kohli boost as the star batter returns to the Indian playing XI on Sunday in Cuttack after missing the first game due to a knee injury. India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak confirmed Kohli’s availability on the eve of the match. 

The biggest task lies on head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma as to who will make way for Kohli. In the first ODI, it was assumed that Yashasvi Jaiswal came in place of Kohli, but the calculations changed after Shreyas Iyer revealed that he wasn’t in the playing XI until Kohli got injured.  

Will it be Jaiswal or Iyer or Axar Patel, it remains to be seen as who makes way for Kohli. With just two more ODIs to go before the Champions Trophy, the likes of Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakaravarthy could also get a look-in. 

England, in all probability are expected to field the same line-up.
