Team India will have a chance to regain some confidence after the disappointing end to the Test series. Under Virat Kohli’s captaincy, India came back strongly from the Test series defeat and claimed the ODI series 4-1 in 2018. This time, under KL Rahul’s captaincy, the aim will be to repeat that feat.
