The Indian team is high on confidence after their credible win in the first one-dayer against England in Hyderabad and aim to push the visitors into a corner at the second at the Ferozshah Kotla here on Monday. If India handle to repeat the sort of performance they delivered on Friday, the visitors will be left with the undesirable task of the winning the last three one-dayers to take the series. Both the teams have won a game each against the other on the two occasions they have played here earlier.
“The win in Hyderabad was a big confidence booster. Hopefully, we will take the confidence from that match forward. We have been preparing hard for this series and everyone in the team is keen to do well,” Virat Kohli said. For India, the rich vein of form that skipper M.S. Dhoni showed in the last match is a definite plus. The younger lot, particularly the spinning pair of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, rise to the occasion in the absence of some of the star players.
Suresh Raina, who also played a key role in the first ODI, reported a slight stomach disorder in the morning and had to see a doctor but was seen practicing full strength in the nets later. The Englishmen, who came here riding high on dazzling summer against the world champions at home, are facing a reality check to their claim of being one of the top teams in the world but are upbeat on their chances in the second ODI.
