India had taken a 1-0 lead after their four-wicket win at Nagpur, but Kohli getting rested owing to a sore right knee had raised concerns about his fitness ahead of the Champions Trophy later this month.

Buttler also believes that veteran batter Joe Root will play a pivotal role in both the ODI series against India, starting Thursday, and the upcoming Champions Trophy, given his experience.
