IND vs. AFG
India vs Afghanistan 2nd T20: The second T20 match between India and Afghanistan will be played on January 14 at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. The Indian team took a 1-0 lead in the series with victory in the first T20 match. This is Team India's last bilateral T20 series before the 2024 T20 World Cup. For this reason, the team management will want to find the right team combination. Many players performed poorly in the first T20 match. In such a situation, he can be shown the way out of the team. Let us know what might Team India's playing XI look like in the second T20 match?
The opening pair might look like this
Yashasvi Jaiswal did not play in the first T20 match due to injury. For this reason, Shubman Gill opened with captain Rohit Sharma. There has been no update so far that Jaiswal will play in the second T20 match. In such a situation, only Gill can open with Rohit in the second T20. Virat Kohli will also return to the team for the second T20 match. For personal reasons he did not play in the first game. Tilak Verma may have to miss out once Kohli is included in the playing XI. Because in the last decade, Virat has emerged as the biggest match winner for Team India.
The middle order can stay like this
Number four Shivam Dubey could get a chance. He played an innings of 60 runs off 40 balls in the first T20 match and showed his strength in bowling. Jitesh Sharma can come in at number five and take the responsibility of wicketkeeping. His wicketkeeping skills are also amazing. The role of finisher can be given to Rinku Singh. Rinku has been putting up strong performances for some time now and has given glimpses of her batting power.
That could be the bowling attack
The responsibility of the fast bowling attack can be given to Arshdeep Singh. Team Mukesh Kumar might get a chance to support him. Ravi Bishnoi proved to be very expensive in the first T20 match. He gave away 35 runs in his 3 overs. For this reason, he can be removed from the playing eleven. Kuldeep Yadav could get a chance in his place in the team. Washington Sundar could get another chance as an all-rounder. Axar Patel can also be included in the playing eleven. Patel is not only an excellent bowler but also a skillful batsman.
India's Playing 11 for the second T20 match against Afghanistan:
Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shivam Dubey, Jitesh Sharma, Rinku Singh, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Mukesh Kumar, Washington Sundar.
