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 to the Afghan team in T20I so far. This match between the two teams will be played on the grounds of Barbados. The pitch here is useful for spinners. In such a situation, the biggest question for the Indian team management is who should remain in the XI between Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal. Now, Indian coach Rahul Dravid has made a big statement in this regard.

One of Yuzvendra Chahal or Kuldeep Yadav could get a chance

Indian team coach Rahul Dravid said before the Super-8 match that it is difficult to keep anyone out. For fast bowlers in New York, conditions were slightly different. Maybe we should do something different here (in Barbados). Yuzvendra Chahal or Kuldeep Yadav can be used here. We are fortunate that we have all-rounders. We had eight batsmen, but we also had seven bowling options. Kuldeep Yadav or Yuzvendra Chahal could be included in the playing XI as the conditions there seem to favor slow bowlers.

Dravid also said that India will maintain variety in its batting order and change it depending on the conditions. He said every situation is different. It cannot be set in stone. In the match against Pakistan, we sent up Akshar Patel. Rishabh Pant was sent on 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 it feels good to come to West Indies for the Super Eight stage. He said it is good to come to the Caribbean and play cricket. Did some practice sessions. We are done. Afghanistan is a very dangerous team. Their players play more in the league than our players. It’s not a team you can take lightly. They deserve to reach the Super 8.
