India
India is the top-ranked team in the ODI charts, led by veteran batsman Rohit Sharma. Virat Kohli, Kuldeep Yadav, and KL Rahul are in good form with fine performances in the last match.

Kuldeep Yadav and Washington Sunder were effective in claiming wickets in death overs. In the second innings, India had 231 runs to chase. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill collected 75 runs in 12.4 overs, giving a great start to the game. Sharma gave solidity to the team by scoring 58 runs off 47 balls.
