The Super-8 round has now started in the T20 World Cup 2024 to be hosted by America and West Indies. The Indian team under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma will play its first match in this round on June 20. Know what changes have been made in the Indian team so that the Indian team can benefit. Today's match can create problems for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. So know the possible playing-11 of both the teams.
Today's match will be played in Barbados
This match will be played against Afghanistan at Kingston Oval in Barbados. The match will start at 8 pm Indian time. This ground has been unfortunate for the Indian team. It has played 2 T20 matches here so far and has lost both. But in this match, captain Rohit will come on the field with full preparation. He can make a big change in his playing eleven. Star spinner Kuldeep Yadav can be included. Fast bowler Mohammad Siraj can be dropped for him.
This pitch of Barbados is spin friendly
A big reason for this is that spinners get a lot of help on this ground of Barbados. The last match of this World Cup was played here on June 8. In which Australia defeated England by 36 runs. Australian spinner Adam Zampa, who took 2 wickets in this match, was chosen as the Player of the Match. In this match, Australia came out to bat first. After this, England's spinners Moeen Ali and Will Jack bowled the initial overs. Apart from this, spinners Adil Rashid and Liam Livingstone also bowled for England. Except Will Jacks, all the other three got wickets.
This change can happen in Indian playing-11 today
On the other hand, Indian fast bowler Siraj is not in his form in this World Cup. He has played 3 matches so far and has taken only 1 wicket. In such a situation, captain Rohit can now give Kuldeep a chance in place of Siraj and enter the match with 3 spinners. Apart from Kuldeep, Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel can also be in the playing-11. While in fast bowling, all-rounder Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dubey can support Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh. However, Shivam bowls very little.
