IND vs AFG T20I: Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are ready to play T20 matches for India after 14 months. India played the T20 World Cup-2022 tournament in Australia under the leadership of the hitman. After that these two players have not played a single T20 match till now. Now both of them are preparing for re-entry. India will play a three-match T20 series against Afghanistan from January 11. For this, the selectors have taken both of them into the team. However, with the arrival of these two, there have been important changes in Team India.
India tied the last T20 series against South Africa 1-1. The players who played in it were considered to be permanent T20 members of Team India. However, only one or two of the players who played in that match will appear in the match against Afghanistan.
Rohit Sharma is the captain of Team India in this series. So, he will definitely feature in the playing-11. Even dropping a player like Virat Kohli is difficult. Both will definitely play. Yashaswi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill will be the openers in the third T20 against Africa. Both of them were also selected for the series against Afghanistan. So, only one of Jaiswal or Gill is allowed.
Team India’s squad to face Afghanistan
Suryakumar Yadav was the captain in the third T20 against South Africa. But, he is not playing in this series. Kohli will be taken in the playing-11 instead of him. Rinku Singh can play against Afghanistan. However, he did not get a place in the T20 World Cup. By that time, Jadeja-Hardik-Surya was fit and Kohli-Rohit replaced Rinku’s place in the playing eleven.
Mohammad Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja are in the South Africa series. But, he was absent from the Afghan series. Off-spinner all-rounder Washington Sundar or Akshar Patel are likely to replace Jadeja in the playing XI. Avesh Khan may get a chance to replace Siraj.

Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashaswi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Tilak Verma, Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Shivam Dubey, Washington Sundar, Akshar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Kuldeep Yadav. , Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh
