The first of which was the canceled 5th match of the 5-match Test series that started last year in Birmingham on July 1. In the last match when India was leading 2-1, in the absence of captain Rohit Sharma, the inexperienced Jasprit Bumrah led the Indian team for 3 days. England led by Ben Stokes, who threatened the Indian team for the last 2 days, chased down 378 runs and gifted a historic defeat and leveled the series 2-2. .
However, in the subsequent 3-match T20I series led by new captain Jos Buttler, Rohit Sharma-led India, who thrashed England with wild players like Jason Roy and Livingston, took revenge by winning the series 2-1. Following this, the 3-match ODI series between the two teams will begin on July 12 at 5:30 PM IST in London.
