Will Kuldeep return, will Siraj be out? India can field this playing XI

New Delhi. The Indian cricket team will take the field today after a break of 8 days. Team India will face Afghanistan in the Super 8 match of the T20 World Cup. The USA leg is over, now it is the turn of the Caribbean leg. The Super 8 matches, semi-finals and finals of the World Cup will be played in the Windies. The pitches here are favorable for spinners. In the match to be played between India and Afghanistan on Thursday, all eyes will be on the spinners. Wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav may enter the Indian playing eleven while fast bowler Mohammad Siraj may have to sit out.

The dusty pitch of Kensington Oval in Barbados will help the spinners. Wrist spinners will prove to be more effective here than leg spinners. Rohit Sharma would prefer to rely on wrist spinners on such a pitch. There are two leg spinners in the Indian World Cup team. But among these, Kuldeep Yadav may get preference over Yuzvendra Chahal.

Chahal will have to wait longer to make his T20 World Cup debut
A day before the match against Afghanistan, Team India's head coach Rahul Dravid had hinted at including a spinner in the playing XI. In such a situation, Kuldeep Yadav is expected to get a place against Afghanistan. Yuzvendra Chahal will have to wait a little longer for his debut in the T20 World Cup. The pitches in New York were favorable to fast bowlers. Therefore, Rohit and Dravid had decided to go to America with three frontline fast bowlers and two spinners. Jadeja and Axar Patel got a chance in America. Both of them are all-rounders and give depth in batting along with bowling.

Probable India XI against Afghanistan: Rohit Sharma (captain), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dubey, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah.
