India aims for series victory against England in the second One-Day International, with Rohit Sharma struggling and Virat Kohli set to return.

The cricket world is abuzz with anticipation as the second One-Day International (ODI) between India and England is set to take place this Sunday in Cuttack, India. The series, currently in progress, promises to be a thrilling contest, with both teams aiming for a series win.

Rohit Sharma, the Indian team's captain in the ongoing series, has been experiencing a lean run so far. Despite his struggles, the team's bowling attack appears to be settled, posing a formidable challenge to the English batsmen. England's bowling attack, on the other hand, remains uncertain, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the match.

The second ODI is a crucial match for India's quest for a series win. If they manage to secure a victory, it would mark a significant step towards achieving their goal. For England, this match is a make-or-break encounter, with their chances in the series hanging in the balance.

A selection conundrum may arise if Virat Kohli, the former Indian captain, decides to return to the team. Despite no specific replacement having been identified or announced, his potential return could pose a challenge for the team's management. It remains unclear who Kohli may replace in the Indian team, should he make a comeback.

On a different note, a unique initiative has been launched to support female athletes and footballers in the country. This program aims to provide opportunities and resources to these athletes, fostering a more inclusive and diverse sports landscape.
