As the Indian cricket squad, led by Rohit Sharma, reached Nagpur for the opening ODI against England, an unusual scene unfolded. While players and support staff exited the team bus, throwdown specialist Raghu found himself barred by security, mistaken for an overenthusiastic fan.

A viral video captures Raghu attempting to explain his role to the police after being refused entry into the hotel. After a brief exchange, the officers realized their error and allowed him in, though not without a moment of embarrassment.

The Indian contingent, including stars like Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shubman Gill, touched down in Nagpur ahead of the three-match ODI series beginning February 6. The squad mirrors the one selected for the ICC Champions Trophy, with the sole change of Harshit Rana replacing Jasprit Bumrah.

India’s squad for ODI series: Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill (VC), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (WK), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja.

Meanwhile, India recently clinched a 4-1 victory in the T20I series against England, with Abhishek Sharma and Varun Chakravarthy emerging as standout performers. With the action now shifting to ODIs, the team eyes another dominant performance.
