IND vs AFG: The match between India and Afghanistan in the Super-8 of T20 World Cup 2024 will be played on June 20. The Indian team has not lost against the Afghan team in T20I till date. This match between the two teams will be played on the ground of Barbados. The pitch here is helpful for spinners. In such a situation, the biggest question before the Indian team management is who should be kept in the playing eleven between Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal. Now India’s coach Rahul Dravid has given a big statement on this.
One of Yuzvendra Chahal or Kuldeep Yadav can get a chance
Indian team coach Rahul Dravid said before the match in Super-8 that it is difficult to keep anyone out. The conditions were a bit different for fast bowlers in New York. We may need to do something different here (in Barbados). Yuzvendra Chahal or Kuldeep Yadav can be used here. We are lucky that we have all-rounders. We had eight batsmen, but we also had 7 bowling options. Either Kuldeep Yadav or Yuzvendra Chahal can be included in the playing eleven as the conditions there seem to be favorable for slow bowlers.
Dravid also said that India will keep variety in its batting order and will change it according to the circumstances. He said that every situation is different. It cannot be set in stone. In the match against Pakistan, we sent Akshar Patel up. Rishabh Pant was sent at number, a lot of thought was put into it. I don’t think we will have this flexibility in Test cricket. In T20, you want more balance in batting.
India will not take Afghanistan lightly
Rahul Dravid said that it feels good to come to West Indies for the Super Eight stage. He said that it is good to come to the Caribbean and play cricket. Did some practice sessions. We are ready. Afghanistan is a very dangerous team. Their players play more in the league than our players. They are not a team that can be taken lightly. They deserve to reach the Super 8.
