After ex-India captain Virat Kohli missed the first ODI against England due to a sore knee, ex-India batter Aakash Chopra said, "Neck in January. Knee in February." "Not often you see Kohli missing any competitive cricket because of fitness issues. But here we are," he added. Batter Yashasvi Jaiswal and pacer Harshit Rana made their ODI debuts in the match.
