Shane Watson is coming off a strong IPL season in which he was voted Player of the Series, and in a country where he has struggled to do well (he averages 30 in ODIs in England), expect the burly allrounder to try and correct that record.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar made a strong start to his international limited-overs career and a lot is expected of him in seam-friendly conditions in England. India will rely on his incisive bowling in England.

The hugely talented and highly-rated Joe Root is averaging 81.50 in ODIs, and if he extends his rich vein of form from first-class and Test cricket into the 50-over format, England will not be pushovers.

Snapshot: The best finishers of IPL 6
