India face England in what is expected to be another exciting match of the Cricket World Cup 2023 in Lucknow. It will be interesting to see how England fares in this match. The Three Lions have been unbelievingly poor form. Losing four out of five matches has not helped them in the ongoing tournament. The defending champions will need to prove they are world beaters in this format of the game and hopefully they will do it against the two-time champions India.

All eyes will be on Virat Kohli who is aiming for his 49th ODI hundred. If he does so in Lucknow, he will equal Sachin Tendulkar's record of most tons in ODI cricket. Kohli was near to do it vs New Zealand in Dharamsala. However, he got out on 95, missing the landmark hundred by 5 runs.

India have been massively helped by the good form of their key players including captain Rohit Sharma and pacer Jasprit Bumrah besides Kohli. KL Rahul too has had a good time both behind and in front of the stumps. 


Hardik Pandya will miss another match for India in this World Cup after he hurt his ankle while fielding in the game vs Bangladesh on October 19 in Pune. KL Rahul, who attended the pre-match presser, informed the media that Pandya should be out for one more game. When he returns to the XI is a big question. However, it is likely that Pandya is fit before the knockouts arive.
