After the toss, Rohit Sharma declared that he had made three changes in the India playing XI. He mentioned that he had to unfortunately drop Varun Chakravarthy has he pulled up on the morning of the match with a tight calf.

Varun Chakravarthy missed India's third ODI against England due to a sore right calf. The Indian team rested key players and made several lineup changes. Kuldeep Yadav, Washington Sundar, and Arshdeep Singh were given opportunities.

At 33 years and 164 days old, Varun became India's second-oldest ODI debutant after Farokh Engineer (36y 138d) in 1974.

In-form mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy has been included in the Indian ODI squad after his heroics in the just-concluded T20I series against England as the team management wants the KKR mystery spinner to "keep up the momentum".

Left-arm chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav replaced an unfit Varun Chakravarthy in the playing XI for the third and final ODI of the series against England.

India vs England 3rd ODI will be taking place in Ahmedabad on Wednesday (Feb 12) from 1:30 PM India time - serving as the last ODI for both the teams before the upcoming Champions Trophy. India are already 2-0 ahead in the three-match series after winning the first two ODIs by four wickets each.
