Birmingham: After India’s unbeaten run at the ICC World Cup 2019 was halted by hosts England on Sunday (June 30), there were lot of questions about India’s batting in the first 10 overs and the final six. MS Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav were criticised for not showing intent to go for big shots in the final six overs while chasing 338. In the post-match press conference, Rohit Sharma, who hit a century, explained why India batted like that and Dhoni, Jadhav in particular. Some called Dhoni-Jadhav’s batting as “bizarre”.

'Losing wickets put you under pressure and we lost KL (Rahul) at the start. They bowled well so it is only natural the guys who are in form bat as long as possible,' Rohit Sharma said after India lost to England at the ICC World Cup 2019

Birmingham: India will aim to maintain their unbeaten run as they face the under-pressure England at the ICC World Cup 2019 today (June 30). It is a must-win game for England as their semi-final hopes hinge on this contest in Birmingham. Virat Kohli and his men will be sporting new jerseys (orange) for this game at Edgbaston. Here is India’s likely playing 11.

Asked about his assessment of Vijay Shankar, Virat Kohli said, 'It's a strange one because he had a decent game against Pakistan. I think against Afghanistan on that pitch he looked really assured. Shot selection, again, we discussed with him for that game. Last game, again, he came out, he looked really good, and he got a beautiful ball from Kemar Roach'

In heart-stopping action at the ICC World Cup 2019, the gritty Afghanistan yet again came close to creating a big upset but were denied by Imad Wasim, who emerged an unlikely batting hero along with Wahab Riaz (15 off 9), who hit a timely six off Rashid Khan to release the pressure

'After the first 10 overs, the check we had in the middle, me and Rohit (Sharma) and then me and Virat (Kohli), what we assessed. And the message we sent into the dressing room was the same thing, that this is not a 300, 330 wicket; it's a 260, 270 wicket,' said KL Rahul after India defeated West Indies at the ICC World Cup 2019

'Bhuvneshwar's injury is not of any great concern. It is just a niggle, which we didn't want to take a chance. And it was also an opportunity for us to plug Shami into the games. But the fact he's done exceptionally well all goes well for us; it's an embarrassment of riches,' said Bharat Arun ahead of India-West Indies match at the ICC World Cup 2019

'In terms of the squad, I think everybody's upbeat for the occasion. Playing India is always a big game for West Indies, and we're looking forward to it. First we need to finish the campaign as best as we can. And our objective is to win all three games,' said Jason Holder before the India-West Indies game at the ICC World Cup 2019

'Well, we need two points, definitely. It's an important game for us. And there's still a slim chance for us to actually qualify. But anything's possible. And going up against India, it's always going to be a challenge,' said Chris Gayle ahead India-West Indies game at the ICC World Cup 2019
