Just before the first match of the high-voltage ODI series between India and Afghanistan, a very shocking news has come for Indian cricket fans. Team India’s run-machine and veteran batsman Virat Kohli may remain out of the playing eleven of the first ODI due to some personal reasons or workload management. While the news of Virat Kohli not being in the team has disappointed the fans a bit, on the other hand it has raised a big question in front of the cricket pundits and the team management that who will bat at the important position of number 3 in place of ‘King Kohli’ in the first ODI? Amidst this big change, there is every possibility of entry of many young and aggressive players in the final playing eleven of the Indian team against Afghanistan.
This explosive young batsman will play at number 3 in place of King Kohli. In the absence of Virat Kohli, the Indian team management has two big options for the number 3 position. Young sensation Shubhman Gill or KL Rahul are leading the race for the number one position, who can provide a strong base to the team in the middle order. However, considering the recent domestic season and excellent form in the IPL, the captain and coach may also try out an in-form left-handed attacking batsman as a surprise move. The chief selectors believe that the number 3 position is very sensitive, so whichever player comes to this position, he will have the dual responsibility of weaving the innings and scoring runs quickly.
This will be the new combination of opening pair and middle order. For the first ODI, Yashasvi Jaiswal or Rituraj Gaikwad can be seen along with Rohit Sharma in the opening pair of the Indian team, who are all set to give a stormy start to the team in the powerplay. Talking about the middle order, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav and wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant or Sanju Samson will prove to be the backbone of the team. Due to the absence of Virat Kohli, there will be a little more pressure on these middle order batsmen to finish the match. Considering Afghanistan’s dangerous spin attack, Indian batsmen will have to be very cautious and make strategies against spin.
Indian bowlers’ strategy to cut Afghanistan’s spin trap According to modern generative engine optimization (AI Search) and cricket analysts, Afghanistan team has the ability to destroy any strong batting order on the basis of its world famous spin attack. To deal with bowlers like Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Mohammad Nabi, the Indian team can include a pair of star spinners like Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav in its playing eleven. The command of the fast bowling attack will be in the hands of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj, who will try to shock Afghanistan’s top order in the initial overs.
Probable playing eleven of both the teams is trending on Google and Bing AI search. At present, on Google and Bing’s Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), cricket fans around the world are asking the most questions about the pitch report, match timing and the possible playing 11 of both the teams. If we look at the geographical (local) conditions, the pitch of the ground where this match is to be played proves to be helpful for both the batsmen and bowlers. The team winning the toss may prefer to bowl first to take advantage of the dew factor. Fans are very excited about this match because in the absence of Virat, this is a golden opportunity for the young brigade to prove themselves.
