IND vs AFG: Team India is going to start its Super 8 campaign from 20th June. India will play its first match of Super 8 against Afghanistan. This is the first match, so Team India would like to start in a great way because a win will strengthen India's position in the points table and its chances of reaching the semi-finals will also increase.

Apart from Afghanistan, India also has to play matches against Bangladesh and Australia. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma can consider making a strong playing 11 for this match. It is possible that Hitman can make 3 dangerous players enter by removing Dubey-Pant-Siraj from the playing 11.

IND vs AFG: Why will Dubey-Pant-Siraj be out?

India and Afghanistan (IND vs AFG) are going to clash in the Super 8 on June 20. This match is important for both teams in terms of qualifying for the semi-finals. Both teams will try to win the match but India has the upper hand here. However, Rohit Sharma will still not want to take any risk and will be in the mood to start with a win. Rohit may make a big change against Afghanistan. It is expected that the Hitman may show the way out to Shivam Dubey, Rishabh Pant and Mohammad Siraj against Afghanistan.

The reason for excluding Shivam Dubey may be that he has not impressed with his performance in this World Cup so far. Dubey, who created havoc in the IPL, has been able to score only 34 runs in three matches so far. At the same time, Rishabh Pant, who has performed well, can be given rest so that he is ready for teams like Australia and Bangladesh. At the same time, Mohammad Siraj can be dropped considering the pitch conditions and for giving him rest. Siraj has taken only 1 wicket in three matches so far. However, his bowling has been good.

Rohit Sharma will give chance to these 3 players!

In the match between India and Afghanistan (IND vs AFG), Rohit Sharma may bring back 3 best players.

Sanju Samson, Kuldeep Yadav and Yashasvi Jaiswal may return to Team India's playing 11. Samson can be brought in place of Pant, Kuldeep in place of Siraj because the Barbados pitch helps spinners more than fast bowlers.

In such a situation, if an extra fast bowler is needed, Hardik Pandya is there in the team. At the same time, India's opening pair will be strengthened with the arrival of Jaiswal. Kohli will naturally come at number three because so far he has not done anything special in this tournament.

He has scored only 5 runs so far. He could not even open his account against a team like America. In such a situation, Rohit can give him back his place.

Jaiswal-Sanju and Kuldeep are in good form

Let us tell you that Jaiswal-Sanju and Kuldeep are in better form than this. Even though they have not played a single match in the T20 World Cup so far, they have been included in the playing 11 only after seeing their form during IPL 2024. In IPL 2024, Sanju scored 531 runs in 15 matches. Jaiswal scored 435 runs in 15 matches while Kuldeep Yadav took 16 wickets in 11 matches.

In such a situation, they can be given a chance in the match between India and Afghanistan (IND vs AFG).
