The three-match series between India and Afghanistan is all set to take off. Afghanistan haven’t won a game against India so far, and they might have that in mind.
Afghanistan is not the same team as when they started their international career. They have done miracles in their journey. So India can definitely expect high-class competition from the visitors.
It is going to be a well-balanced surface. The spinners, in particular, will get turn out of this wicket. Since both teams possess high-class spinners, we can expect a great fight.

Wicketkeepers: Gurbaz, being the opener with his attacking nature, will make use of the new ball and powerplay.
Batters: Indian batters are an obvious choice for us, especially the top-order batters — R. Sharma and S. Gill. Rinku Singh’s death-over cameo is one of the most expected. From the visiting team, we pick Zadran.
All-rounders: The spinning all-rounders will have a great time with both the bat and the ball. M. Nabi and A. Patel. Naib’s fast bowling will also be an added plus for us.
Bowlers: Two spinners, K. Yadav and M. Rahman. They are always going to be a nightmare in any condition. A. Singh’s form makes sure that he can’t be overlooked.
