After the emphatic win in Mohali against England in the fourth ODI, Indian cricket team is overjoyed and high on confidence as they now lead the five-match series 3-1. The Dharamshala ODI will not change the winner of the series, but it’s still going to be important for both the teams to end the series on winning note.

Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina were the saviors for the Indian Team in the last ODI. England struggled throughout the match, first with the bat and then with the ball. England need some serious changes in their bowling line-up to get Indian batsmen out otherwise their stretch of losing ODIs in India will get from bad to worse.

We bring before you the players to watch out for in Dharamala ODI.
 
India

Bhuvneshwar Kumar: Bhuvaneshwar Kumar had been the find of the season and he had picked up lots of wickets in this short span of time. His ability to bowl his 10 overs, at a stretch, has given a lot of relief to Dhoni for rotating his bowlers in the mid-overs. His line of outside off-stump has so far troubled the English batsmen.

Ishant Sharma: He has bowled very well in last two one-day matches and conditions in Dharamshala will surely assist him. His variations are something that has kept England batsmen in double-mind. He has surely improved from the first two games and it can be seen in his spell of death-overs where he was trying to York the batsmen every now and then.

Suresh Raina: Three half-centuries in three innings against England have made him a cornerstone of lower middle order. His intelligent stroke-making and shot-selection has made sure he stays till the end of the innings. Apart from batting, his fielding standards make him a useful cricketer.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni: Captain Cool is very happy with brilliant all-round performance of his team and his own batting form makes it even more special. His smart tactics to rotate the bowlers had left no clue for England batsmen

England

Alastair Cook: His batting form is very good but his team selection has let him down in the last three-matches. Dernbach has hurt him the most as he had given away easy runs in all the game and from there India took away match from them. Cook’s batting is very important for England’s success.

Kevin Pietersen: He is getting the early starts which other English batsmen have failed to get throughout the series. His confident stroke-making and his ability to adjust to the conditions has made him the most lethal batsman in England batting line-up.

Joe Root: He has been quite consistent with bat and he has surely made one more fan in Indian Cricket team that is none other than Virat Kohli who said in an interview that Root has temperament and he needs to be backed up to show what a talent he is. England captain needs to promote him up the order and make him bat before Eoin Morgan who has looked off-color in this series.

James Tredwell: He is the leading wicket-taker in this series and has picked up priceless wicket of Yuvraj for four times in a row. He looks very effective on sub-continent pitches and his variation in pace will surely help him bagging few more wickets in his tally.
