DTVHINDIIND v AFG: Rohit-Virat will open against Afghanistan! Apart from these, India has two more options
Keeping the T20 World Cup 2024 in mind, the BCCI Selection Committee announced a strong Indian team for this series. Senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have returned to the T20 team after a break of more than a year. Since now Rohit and Virat have returned to the T-20 team and Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal are also in the team. So now the question in everyone’s mind is, who will open for India in this series against Afghanistan. 3 opening combinations that India can try in the Afghanistan series 3 possible opening combinations for IND v AFG 1) Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma can open against Afghanistan Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. (Image Source: Twitter) Rohit Sharma has returned to the T-20 team as captain. He has been India’s best opener in T20I cricket and it should be no surprise if he opens the batting against Afghanistan. His opening partner should be Virat Kohli as he had a great season as an opener with Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2023. Kohli scored many centuries as an opener. Also, he has formed some great partnerships with Rohit Sharma in international cricket. If the duo of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma gets going, it will be a nightmare for any bowling unit in the world. India should have the best two batsmen in its team as openers. 2) Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill Rohit Sharma & Shubman Gill (Photo Source: Twitter) 2023 has been a great year for Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill as the opening pair in ODI cricket. He also opened for India in Tests. Perhaps India can now try this pair in T-20 format also. Shubman Gill was the highest run-scorer in IPL 2023. He scored almost 900 runs while opening for Gujarat Titans. The Prince of Indian cricket already has a T20I century to his name, and playing alongside Rohit Sharma will help him become a better batsman. Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra also feels that Gill will open with Rohit in the T20 series between India and Afghanistan. 3) Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal (Pic Source-Twitter) If India wants a left-handed-right-handed opening combination in the T20 World Cup 2024, then it should try Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma as openers against Afghanistan. Two batsmen from Mumbai open for India in Test cricket. During the absence of Rohit Sharma in the T20 team, Yashasvi played some brilliant innings for the Indian team. Both Jaiswal and Sharma have an aggressive approach, which can help India score big in the powerplay overs.

IND v AFG: Team India’s best playing XI for the upcoming T20 series against Afghanistan
Team India (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The Senior Men’s Selection Committee of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the 16-member Indian team for the T-20 series against Afghanistan starting from January 11. Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav could not be a part of this series due to injuries. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have returned to the T20 team after almost 14 months. Now the question is, what will be India’s playing XI in the first match of the T20 series against Afghanistan to be played from January 11? Who will get a chance in place of Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav? For this the team management will have to put a lot of thinking. IND v AFG: Team India’s Best Playing XI Openers: Rohit Sharma Rohit Sharma (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal In the first T20 to be played against Afghanistan in Mohali. Rohit Sharma Yashasvi Jaiswal can enter the opening along with him. He has been performing brilliantly in this format for some time now. Along with this, he also gives a combination of left and right in the top order. In such a situation, Shubhman Gill may have to wait. Apart from his century, Shubman Gill has not performed much in T2oI in this format and his last few innings have been quite worrying. Although this youngster will soon stand on his feet, but looking at the current combination of the team, it seems that he may have to sit for the time being. Middle Order: Virat Kohli, Tilak Verma, Sanju Samson (wk), Rinku Singh Virat Kohli Performs well in the top order, but against Afghanistan he may have to bat at number 3. His gear in the middle overs and his game against spin will have to improve. Without Suryakumar, Tilak Verma is likely to get a few more chances to prove himself. The young left-hander has been sent up and down the order for quite some time now, and number 4 could be ideal for him. He will also serve as the sixth bowling option. Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma are the two wicketkeepers who have been included in the squad. Sanju Samson has played more T20I cricket in recent times, but he can still fit into the team. He recently scored his first international century. Rinku Singh has been brilliant since his debut in international cricket and it is almost certain that he will play in the middle order. He will play the role of finisher for the team. All-rounder: Axar Patel In this playing XI Akshar Patel Washington will be ahead of Sundar. The left-handed batsman showed better bowling against Australia and he would like to continue that form further. He would like more opportunities to spend some time in the middle while batting. Bowlers: Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar (Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar) India has selected only three fast bowlers in the team, Mukesh Kumar, Avesh Khan and Arshdeep Singh. These three need to play to strengthen the team in the bowling…

Meanwhile, in some media reports this It has been learned that the right-arm fast bowler will not be able to play in the first two Tests of the England series.

Responding to this he said, “I am trying my best to be available for selection for the England Test series, but Test matches are a longer format so you don’t want to be in the team with any doubts.” Apart from this, Shami also told about his plans for the T20 World Cup to be held in June. He said, “Whenever it comes to T20, sometimes I do not understand whether I am in the scheme of things or not. But I think before the T20 World Cup you have the IPL and this is the best opportunity to bring momentum, and if the management asks me to play, I will be available.” Before the England Test series, India will play three T20 matches against Afghanistan at home, with the first match being played on Thursday, January 11. Like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, Shami also last played a T20 match against England in the 2022 World Cup, where India lost.

He would like to retire at least with the World Cup in hand. He was there in the 2007 World Cup. He would like to do something similar, win the World Cup and then retire.
