Ahead of their second ODI against England in Cuttack, several members of the Indian Team offered their prayers to Lord Jagannath at the Jagannath Temple in Puri on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As visitants to the Jagannath Temple on Saturday, these players prayed before the contest scheduled on February 9 at Barabati Cricket Stadium. Varun Chakaravarthy, a spinner from the Kolkata Knight Riders<\/a>; Washington Sundar of the Chennai Super Kings<\/a>; and Axar Patel from the Delhi Capitals<\/a> were among those who prayed before holy idols in the temple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the morning, all this occurred under heavy security as the three players returned to Bhubaneswar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday evening, both the teams landed on the Bhubaneswar airport. Immediately after arriving, they were escorted to a luxury hotel of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both teams will be allowed to practice at the stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier in the week, India grabbed a 1-0 lead in the three-match series by defeating England by four wickets at Nagpur. Half-centuries from Shubman Gill (87), Shreyas Iyer (59), and Axar (52) pulled India up to the others while chasing 249 inside 38.4 overs at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Yashasvi Jaiswal and Harshit Rana made their One Day International debuts, Virat Kohli <\/a>had to sit out this contest due to a swelling in his right knee; however, he is expected to be fit for the second ODI.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
