IND vs AFG: Top 5 Players to Watch Out For:
Rohit Sharma:
Virat Kohli:
Jasprit Bumrah:
Jasprit Bumrah is one of the greatest threats to the Afghan national team’s hitting lineup. Because of his unusual action, he is an unconventional right-arm fast bowler that batsmen typically find difficult to hit. In his last four games, he has taken six wickets at an average of 9.5. India’s bowling attack benefits from Bumrah’s performance against Afghanistan, as he claimed a wicket in their most recent match.
Rashid Khan:
Rashid Khan is one of the most notable matchwinners for the Afghan national team in recent memory. He has taken over 500 wickets around the world while playing in various leagues, and when he bowls today against Indian top-order batsmen, he could pose a threat to our batsmen. A leg-break googly bowler with four wickets in his last three matches, averaging 21.8. His knowledge and abilities will be critical for Afghanistan.
Fazalhaq Farooqi:
A left-arm fast-medium bowler with 12 wickets in his last five outings, average of 7.75. Despite a checkered record against India, his recent form positions him as an important contributor to Afghanistan.
