Virat Kohli was forced to miss the opening ODI of the series against England due to an injury.
The 36-year-old had undergone a late fitness test in an attempt to play the first ODI but was ultimately deemed unfit. In his absence, Shreyas Iyer was drafted into the playing XI – the batter revealed his inclusion was due to Kohli's absence following India's win – while Gill moved up to bat at No. 3.
