Southampton delivered the final humiliation, England claimed the No. 1 ranking, and the post-mortems have already begun in earnest.Yet the team that walks out at Edgbaston on Tuesday will bear almost no resemblance to the one dismantled across five T20Is. Different captain, different format, different personnel, and a squad carrying vastly more experience than the transitional group Shreyas Iyer inherited.Shubman Gill takes charge of an ODI side featuring Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah, a spine that has won World Cup games and conquered these very conditions.

He won his first ODI series as captain, thrashing Afghanistan 3-0 at home, and now with Iyer as his vice-captain, things are much different.MORE: ‘Can you pick teams succumbing to social media pressure?’: Ashwin on Sooryavanshi’s selectionFifty-over cricket in England rewards precisely what India’s T20I side could not provide. Batters have time to absorb the new ball, see off the Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue short-ball barrage, and build rather than swing from the first delivery.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThat plays directly into the strengths of Rohit and Kohli, both of whom have made their careers on the ab
