Will Afghanistan’s left-arm bowler be a challenge for Rohit and Virat?

IND vs AFG: The Indian team will begin its Super-8 campaign against Afghanistan in the T20 World Cup on Thursday, June 20. During this period, Afghanistan’s left-arm bowlers could prove to be the first thorn in the path of the semi-finals. Left-arm fast bowler Fazalhaq Farooqui and left-arm spinner Noor Ahmed can become major threats to Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Both India’s openers have often struggled with left-arm bowling and it could be a big challenge for them in this match too.Fazalhaq Farooqui and Noor Ahmed are big threatsRohit Sharma is one of the most dangerous openers but he has always struggled against left-arm pacers. In this T20 World Cup, he has played three matches in which he was injured once and retired twice. Both times his wicket was taken by a left-arm pacer. He was dismissed by Shaheen Afridi against Pakistan, while Saurabh Netravalkar showed him the way out in the power game against America. Virat Kohli also often struggles against left-arm bowlers. America’s left-arm pacer Saurabh Netravalkar has dismissed him for this tournament. In such a situation, Afghanistan’s left-arm fast bowler Fazalhaq Farooqui can pose a threat to both batsmen in the powerplay. Farooqui is in dangerous form in this tournament. In the powerplay, he has been troubling the batsmen a lot with swinging balls. He has taken 12 wickets in 4 matches so far. He is also the highest wicket-taker in the tournament. He has taken 9 of the 12 wickets in the powerplay itself. Besides Farooqui, Noor Ahmed can be a source of trouble for Team India. Kohli has failed to score runs against the left-arm spinner. Apart from this, Noor Ahmed, who plays for Gujarat Giants in the IPL, has always bothered him.Surya and Shivam Dubey are the answer to Rashid KhanThe relief for India is that India has an answer for Afghanistan captain and one of the most successful bowlers Rashid Khan. Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dubey have always dominated him. Surya has faced 58 balls against him in which he has not got out even once and has scored 86 runs at a strike rate of 148. Shivam Dubey, famous for hitting sixes off spinners, is also batting against him at a strike rate of 155. Apart from this Rashid’s record in T20 against Team India has been very poor in the last two years.
