NAGPUR, India — In a notable absence, star batsman Virat Kohli will not be participating in the Indian lineup for the first one-day international on Thursday due to a knee injury. England’s captain Jos Buttler won the toss and opted to bat first in this much-anticipated match.

Adding to India’s challenges, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is sidelined due to a back spasm. However, fans will witness the one-day debut of left-handed opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, alongside pace bowler Harshit Rana, who is also making his debut.

In their strategy, England has chosen to feature three fast bowlers in their playing squad while also introducing spin allrounder Jacob Bethell.

India recently showcased their prowess in the preceding five-match T20 series, clinching victory with a remarkable 4-1 scoreline.

The lineups for the match include:

**India:** Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shreyas Iyer, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami.

**England:** Ben Duckett, Philip Salt, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (captain), Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood.
