IND vs AFG: When Team India will field under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma on January 17 in Bangalore, its first target will be to wipe out Afghanistan. Team India has easily won the first two matches of the three-match series and now it is the turn of the last match. Meanwhile, the question is whether Rohit Sharma will make any changes in his playing eleven for the first two matches.

A lot of runs can be scored in Bengaluru ground

The third match of the series between India and Afghanistan will be played in Bengaluru on Wednesday. Whenever there is a match in Bengaluru, everyone knows that a lot of runs will be scored here. This is a small ground and the outfield is also fast, so once the ball comes out, it goes straight outside the boundary. Meanwhile, after the first match, Rohit Sharma had made only two changes in the second. While on one hand Yashasvi Jaiswal entered in place of Shubman Gill, on the other hand Tilak Verma was shown the way out with the arrival of Virat Kohli. But captain Rohit Sharma expressed confidence in Jitesh Sharma as the wicketkeeper in the first two matches and Sanju Samson remained sitting outside.

Team India is fielding with three spinners, captain's trust on Jitesh Sharma

The Indian team took the field with three spinners in the first two matches. While bowlers like Akshar Patel and Washington Sundar have the ability to show their skills with the bat as well, Ravi Bishnoi is a pure bowler. Sanju Samson recently scored his first international century against South Africa, but even after this he is not getting a place in the playing eleven. However, Jitesh Sharma's performance has not been very special in the first two matches. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether the captain brings Sanju Samson in. If we talk about Kuldeep Yadav, he too has not got a chance to play even a single match in this series. The Indian team is going into the field with three spinners and two pacers. Avesh Khan has also not got a chance yet. In the entire squad, these three players i.e. Kuldeep Yadav, Avesh Khan and Sanju Samson are the only ones who have not been able to play a single match.

Last T20 match before T20 World Cup 2024

This is Team India's last International T20 match before the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. After this the England team will come to India. Where a five-match test series will be played. IPL 2024 is likely to start in late March. Only after this the T20 World Cup will start. In such a situation, this is the last chance to test the players in T20 before IPL. It remains to be seen whether Rohit Sharma makes changes in the playing eleven or enters the field with the same winning combination.

India's probable playing XI: Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Shivam Dubey, Sanju Samson/Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar.

Indian team: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Shivam Dubey, Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar, Sanju Samson, Tilak Verma. , Kuldeep Yadav, Avesh Khan.
