New Delhi, September 7 (Daily Kiran) : The T20 International series between India and Afghanistan is set to begin on September 13. Under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, the Indian team aims to deliver a strong performance in this three-match series. Here are five players whose performances will be closely monitored.
Vaibhav SuryaVanshi: The young 15-year-old batsman, who was part of the T20 series against England and Zimbabwe, has been given another opportunity against Afghanistan. Observers will be keen to see how he approaches the Afghan spinners, especially after his impressive 81-run innings in the last T20 against Zimbabwe. Vaibhav has also shown good form in the Duleep Trophy.
Jasprit Bumrah: Returning to the team after a break, all eyes will be on Jasprit Bumrah’s performance against Afghanistan. His last T20 International match was in March against New Zealand. If he finds his rhythm, he could pose a significant challenge for the Afghan batsmen.
Sanju Samson: After a disappointing outing against England, Sanju Samson was left out of the squad for the T20 series against Zimbabwe. This series presents a crucial opportunity for him to prove himself again. In the recent T20 series against Ireland, he managed only 5 runs, and against England, he scored just 28 runs across two matches.
Ravi Bishnoi: Bishnoi displayed excellent form in the T20 series against Zimbabwe, taking wickets while also being economical. His performance on home ground against Afghanistan will be under scrutiny as he aims to secure his place in the T20 team with a standout showing.
Nitish Kumar Reddy: With Hardik Pandya absent, Nitish Kumar Reddy has a great chance to establish himself as an all-rounder in the T20 series against Afghanistan. It will be interesting to see how he performs after returning from injury.
As the series unfolds, fans and analysts alike will be eager to see how these players contribute to India’s campaign against Afghanistan.
