IND vs AFG: Like every time, Team India has performed well and crossed the level of the group stage. India's team has now reached the Super 8 in the T20 World Cup 2024. However, the worry is not over yet because Rohit and company now have to compete with three teams at a different level and make it to the semi-finals. Team India has to play the next match against Afghanistan. Then they have to play matches against Bangladesh and finally Australia.

The first match of Super 8 between India and Afghanistan (IND vs AFG) will be played on 20th June. This match is also very important in terms of making a place in the semi-finals. In such a situation, captain Rohit Sharma will focus on making a great team without taking Afghanistan lightly. It is expected that considering the pitch of Barbados, Hitman can come with 3 big changes. In such a situation, let us know who can get a chance in the playing 11.

There may be a change in the top order

In the match between India and Afghanistan (IND vs AFG), captain Rohit may make changes in the top order. Here India's opening pair may change because Virat Kohli has not been able to do anything special as an opener. He has scored only 5 runs in three matches. In such a situation, Rohit and Jaiswal can start the innings.

Considering the spin factor and the left-right combination, Hitman can take such a decision. Jaiswal can be seen playing the World Cup for the first time. On the other hand, if we talk about Rohit, his form is fluctuating. After scoring 52 runs against Ireland, he has been able to score only 16 runs so far. In such a situation, all eyes will be on Rohit as well.

Sanju can replace Surya in the middle order

There may be a change in the middle order in the match between India and Afghanistan (IND vs AFG). The captain may give Sanju Samson a chance in place of Suryakumar Yadav depending on the conditions. Sanju can be sent at number 4 or 5 in this match depending on the situation.

Surya can be given rest and the other reason is that Surya, who scored 50 runs against America, could score only 2 runs against Ireland and 7 runs against Pakistan. This means that if a strong team comes in front, Surya fails.

At the same time, the responsibility of wicketkeeping can remain on Rishabh Pant. Pant's excellent wicketkeeping against Pakistan was the reason for the victory. Apart from this, he is also batting brilliantly. He has scored a total of 96 runs in three matches so far.

Rohit can give chance to 3 all-rounders

In the match between India and Afghanistan (IND vs AFG), captain Rohit Sharma can give chance to 3 all-rounders. Hardik Pandya will be the fast bowling all-rounder while Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel will be kept as spin all-rounders.

Jaddu's bowling could not work because of the bad pitch in America but Barbados has the spin factor, so he can do wonders here. Akshar has also not disappointed the captain so far while Hardik Pandya has taken 7 wickets so far.

Kuldeep Yadav will return!

In the match between India and Afghanistan (IND vs AFG), it is possible that Hitman Mohammad Siraj may be dropped depending on the condition of the pitch. Kuldeep Yadav may get a chance here. Kuldeep was in strong form in IPL 2024 where he took 16 wickets in 11 matches. At the same time, if Pant will be behind the wicket, Kuldeep will keep getting suggestions. At the same time, Jasprit Bumrah will be in fast bowling and Arshdeep's presence with him also seems certain.

Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya (vice-captain), Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj
