India-Afghanistan T20 Series: Who Will Make India’s Playing Eleven?
The India-Afghanistan T20 series is set to kick off tomorrow in Mohali, and fans are eagerly anticipating India’s playing eleven lineup. Malayalam player Sanju Samson is facing a challenge from Jitesh Sharma, who is vying for a spot in the first eleven as the wicketkeeper. Jitesh, who previously played in the T20 series against South Africa, is considered the frontrunner for the wicketkeeper position.
With the absence of players like KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, and Shreyas, the playing eleven is undergoing some changes. Jitesh Sharma currently holds the number one wicket-keeper position in T20Is for India due to the absence of other key players.
The return of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to the T20 squad adds an extra layer of excitement to the upcoming match. Tilak Verma is expected to play at number four in the absence of Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav. If Tilak is not played, the possibility of Sanju Samson taking that spot arises.
Other positions in the lineup are also up for grabs, with Rinku Singh expected to be the finisher at number five. Jitesh Sharma is currently favored over Sanju Samson as the wicketkeeper due to his strong performance in the T20 series against South Africa, while Sanju has a less impressive record in T20Is.
As Rohit Sharma returns, there will be a choice between Shubman Gill or Yashaswi Jaiswal for the opener position. With Kohli set to play at number three, only one of them will make it to the playing eleven.
In the absence of Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel is expected to fill the spin all-rounder position at number seven. Additionally, the team will feature specialist spinner Kuldeep Yadav, along with pacers Arshdeep Singh, Aathush Khan, and Mukesh Kumar in the playing eleven.
The first match with Afghanistan promises to be an exciting one, with India’s playing eleven lineup generating much anticipation and speculation among fans.
