There will be changes in the playing eleven,
India vs Afghanistan 3rd T20I Match: When Team India heads to Bangalore on January 17 under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, their first objective will be the destruction of Afghanistan. Team India won the first two games of the three-match series comfortably and now it is the turn of the final game. Meanwhile, the question is whether Rohit Sharma will make any changes to his playing XI in the first two games.
A lot of runs can be scored on the Bengaluru ground
The third match of the series between India and Afghanistan will be played in Bengaluru on Wednesday. Whenever there is a game in Bengaluru, everyone knows that a lot of runs are scored here. This is a small field and the outfield is also fast so as soon as the ball comes out it goes straight out of bounds. After the first game, Rohit Sharma had made only two changes in the second. While on one hand Yashasvi Jaiswal came in place of Shubman Gill, on the other hand Tilak Verma was shown the way out with the arrival of Virat Kohli. But captain Rohit Sharma expressed confidence in Jitesh Sharma as the wicketkeeper in the first two games and Sanju Samson was left out.
Team India is starting with three spinners, the captain relies on Jitesh Sharma
The Indian team fielded three spinners in the first two games. While bowlers like Akshar Patel and Washington Sundar can also showcase their skills with the bat, Ravi Bishnoi is a pure bowler. Sanju Samson recently scored his first international century against South Africa, but even after that he was not given a place in the starting eleven. However, Jitesh Sharma's performance in the first two games was not particularly special. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see if the captain brings Sanju Samson. If we talk about Kuldeep Yadav, he too doesn't get a chance to play a single match in this series. The Indian team will field three spinners and two pacers. Avesh Khan doesn't have a chance yet either. In the entire squad, these three players namely Kuldeep Yadav, Avesh Khan and Sanju Samson are the only ones who failed to play a single game.
Last T20 match before the 2024 T20 World Cup
This is Team India's last international T20 match before the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. After that, the England team will come to India. Where a five-match Test series is played. IPL 2024 is expected to begin by the end of March. Only then does the T20 World Cup begin. In such a situation, this is the last chance to test the players in T20 before the IPL. It remains to be seen whether Rohit Sharma makes changes in the playing eleven or takes the field with the same winning combination.
India's Expected Playing XI: Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Shivam Dubey, Sanju Samson/Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar
Indian team: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubhman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Shivam Dubey, Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar, Sanju Samson, Tilak Verma, Kuldeep Yadav . , Avesh Khan.
