Cricket World Cup 2023 | India vs Afghanistan Playing 11 LIVE updates | India Predicted XI

According to one school of thought, India could opt to go with Suryakumar Yadav in order to tackle spin in middle overs. But this theory might be supported to Team India's think tank, given Rathour said in the pre-match press conference that India would give as many chances to a player before switching to other players. 

India (probable): 1 Rohit Sharma (capt), 2 Ishan Kishan, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Shreyas Iyer/Suryakumar Yadav, 5 KL Rahul (wk), 6 Hardik Pandya, 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 R Ashwin, 9 Kuldeep Yadav, 10 Jasprit Bumrah, 11 Mohammed Siraj.

Cricket World Cup 2023 | India vs Afghanistan LIVE | Afghans big concern ahead of IND clash

Ahead of the clash against home favourites India, Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi has said they cannot expect their spinners to save the team from trouble all the time.

 

Afghanistan will be looking for their first points in the tournament after suffering a defeat against Bangladesh in their opening match of the World Cup. India started their campaign with a 6-wicket triumph against Australia.

 

In their first WC encounter, Afghanistan batters failed to deliver as they were bowled out for just 156 runs in Dharamsala.

 

The captain said the batters needed to overcome the pressure and post a strong score for the bowlers to defend.

 

"I made a statement at the beginning that we will play good cricket as a batting side. We have a good spin bowling attack, but only one department can't win you games. You have to score runs for that, to win the game," Shahidi said during a pre-match press conference.

 

"As a team, we have that belief that we can come back in the next game and throughout the tournament, so the belief is there and the talent is there and we will try to move on and make it better and improve in tomorrow's game," he added.
