IND vs ENG: Joe Root returns to give England much-needed boost before ODI series
India TodayThat England were blown away in the T20I series against India would be an understatement. Root hasn't played any form of limited-overs cricket for England since their exit in the ODI World Cup on Indian soil in 2023. Playing for Paarl Royals in SA20, Root scored 92 not out and 78 against the Pretoria Capitals and the knocks should keep him in good stead before the ODI series in India. In ODIs, Root has 571 runs from 16 games in India with a top score of 82 against Bangladesh, although he averaged only 30.66 in the ODI World Cup. "In England, Root seems the only qualified batter to do it because it's easier said than done, knowing where the ball is going to turn and eventually ending up playing with soft hands into the gaps is much more difficult than you would think and Root has the skill and the ability," Manjrekar added.
