Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma
India vs Afghanistan 1st T20 Match: Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Team India is once again preparing to enter the field of T20 International. The team for the series has already been announced by BCCI. Virat Kohli is also returning along with Rohit Sharma, although the rest of Team India is full of young players. After these three-match series, India also has to play five Test matches against England, hence some players have been given rest. Meanwhile, the question is that with which playing eleven will Rohit Sharma take the field in the first match. The match is in Mohali, so it is almost certain that one player will play.
India vs Afghanistan first match will be played on 11th January
The first match of the three-match T20 series between India and Afghanistan will be held in Mohali on January 11. Well, it is still suspense as to who will be the opening partner with captain Rohit Sharma. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubhman Gill will definitely think about this. But since the competition is in Mohali, Shubman Gill can win. Shubhman Gill is from Punjab only. He was born in Fazilka. If there is a match in Mohali and local Shubman Gill does not play, how can this happen. Two days before the match, some pictures have surfaced, in which Gill was seen preparing for the match after reaching Mohali. In such a situation, it should be assumed that Shubman Gill can open along with Rohit Sharma. Virat Kohli will come in third place, so it can be said that Yashasvi Jaiswal may have to sit out in the first match.
Jaiswal may get a chance in later matches
The entire series is of three matches, so it is possible that Yashasvi Jaiswal may be given a chance in one of the subsequent matches. Although the Indian team has not been announced yet for the series against England, it is believed that both Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal will be given a chance for that series. In such a situation, there is every possibility that both the players will be given rest in between in this series. So that they can remain fresh for the next series.
After Afghanistan, five test matches will be played with England
The last match of the series against Afghanistan will be played in Bangalore on January 17 and after about a week, the first Test between India and England will start in Hyderabad from January 25. In such a situation, it is important to give rest to the players who are playing in this series and will also play the Test series against England. It is believed that soon the Indian team will be announced for the Test series also. This series will be held under the World Test Championship. In whose points table the Indian team had reached the top by defeating South Africa, but Australia has again regained the top position by defeating Pakistan. The Indian team will have to work hard to reach number one again.
