India has won the toss and have elected to bowl first against England at Eden Gardens

Kolkata: Team India will look to extend their winning streak, when they take on England in the third and final ODI which will be played  at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday.

India took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series at Cuttack after they beat England by 15 runs in the second ODI. The matches so far in the ongoing series has been an one sided affair.

After been hammered in the recently concluded test series Team England were hoping for a better showing in the ODIs, with their specialists brought back in the side – but things have not gone as per the plan.

Meanwhile the Kohli era has begun on a winning note for Team India. Virat Kohli was appointed India’s captain across all formats ahead of the ongoing series after MS Dhoni stepped down as ODI and T20 captain. In the first match at Pune, Virat Kohli and Kedhar Jadhav’s centuries helped India chase down the mammoth target of  351 set by England. In second ODI at Cuttack, Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni brought their experience into the play and posted centuries to help India clinch the match and the series by 15 runs.

Though today’s match at Eden Garden will be a dead rubber, It will be an opportunity for Team India to test their bench strength, with Champions Trophy just couple of months away.

Ajinkya Rahane might get the nod over Dhawan after his poor run continued in first two games. After the ODI series, India will take on England in the three-match T20 series beginning January 26 at Green Park, Kanpur.
