India vs Afghanistan T20 series: Ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup, the Indian team will play a series of three T20 matches against Afghanistan. The first match of the series will be played at the Mohali ground on January 11. Afghanistan has announced its team for this series. The Indian team is yet to be announced. This series is very important for both teams ahead of the T20 World Cup. Let us know what is the record of both teams in T20 cricket.
This is the record of both teams
So far, five matches have been played between India and Afghanistan in T20 cricket, out of which India has won four matches and one match failed to produce a result. The Afghan team has yet to win a single T20 match against India. India has the upper hand against Afghanistan in T20 cricket. India played its first match against Afghanistan in 2010. At that time, Mahendra Singh Dhoni was the captain of Team India. Under his captaincy, the Indian team had won by seven wickets.
This player scored the most runs
Virat Kohli scored the most runs for India against Afghanistan. He has scored 172 runs in 3 matches. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has taken the maximum number of wickets. He has taken five wickets in just one game.
The series is important for the Indian team
This is India's last T20 International series before the T20 World Cup 2024. In such a situation, this is the last chance for the Indian team to test the players and form the team combination. Due to injuries to star batsmen Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya, it seems difficult to take part in this series. Afghanistan, on the other hand, have such players who can destroy Team India's dream of winning the title.
Afghanistan squad for T20 series against India:
Ibrahim Zadran (captain), Rehmanullah Gurbaz (week), Ikram Alikhil (week), Hazratullah Zazai, Rahmat Shah, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Karim Janat, Azmullah Umarzai, Sharafuddin Ashraf, Mujeeb ur Rehman, Fazal Haq Farooqui, Farid Ahmed. Naveen Ul Haq, Noor Ahmed, Mohammad Saleem, Qais Ahmed, Gulbadin Naib and Rashid Khan.
