Preview
India (IND) will be up against Afghanistan (AFG) in the 2nd T20I of the Afghanistan tour of India at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore on January 14. India defeated Afghanistan in the last game quite easily and lead the three-match series 1-0 and would be looking forward to sealing the series in this coming game itself while Afghanistan would be eyeing a comeback here.
The last match between the two teams, which was the first game of the series was played at the PCA IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali where India had won the toss and elected to field. Being put to bat, Afghanistan made a brilliant start as their opening stand lasted for 50 runs. Although they did score well for the first wicket they seemed to be having a meek approach. They played the defensive game on a pitch that was good to bat on and it wasn’t until Mohammad Nabi, who showed his experience that they were able to put up an average total of 158 runs on the scoreboard.
In the chase, all eyes were fixed on skipper Rohit Sharma, who was back in the side after a long time but a miscommunication with Gill led him to being run out on a silver duck. They then had a decent partnership for the second and third wicket. Shivam Dube, who came to bat at four, played a brilliant knock and kept finding regular boundaries. Jitesh too contributed well with his short but explosive innings. The final touch was then given by Rinku and Dube finished the game in style with a six as India won the game comfortably by six wickets.

Player Picks
Rohit Sharma IND | BAT
Rohit has come back into the T20I setup after a long time and would be eager to perform well with the bat. He is a true leader in every sense and should be the leader of your side as well.
Virat Kohli IND | BAT
Virat too can be a great pick for captaincy roles in your fantasy team. With an average close to 50, his consistency makes him a beast in this format of the game.
Shivam Dubey IND | ALL
Dubey was rightly awarded Player of the Match in the last encounter as he contributed exceedingly well with the bat as well as the ball. He scalped a wicket while scoring 60 runs with the bat to win India the game.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman AFG | BOWL
While his other teammates were being smashed for runs, Mujeeb showed great control of the ball. He scalped two wickets while giving just 21 runs in his four overs.
Axar Patel IND | ALL
Axar was brilliant with the ball as he did not just scalped wickets but stopped the run flow as well. He gave 23 runs in his four overs and picked up two wickets in the process.
Mukesh Kumar IND | BOWL
Mukesh had a good match as well where he took away two wickets in his four overs spending 33 runs in the process. He is a lock pick for your fantasy team in the coming games.
Mohammad Nabi AFG | ALL
Nabi was probably the only batter among the Afghans who showed grit and intent. He struck the ball well to make Afghanistan reach a decent total where he smashed 42 runs off 27 balls.
Azmatullah Omarzai AFG | ALL
Omarzai scored 29 runs off 22 balls with the bat while taking away one wicket the ball in his four overs. He can be a great handy pick for your fantasy team.
Ravi Bishnoi IND | BOWL
Bishnoi has gone wicketless for the first time after 11 T20I innings. He is ranked second in the international rankings and would be rearing to take wickets and reclaim his top position.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Rahmat Shah
AFG | BAT
Rahmat did not look in good touch with the bat in the last game. You can make your fantasy team without including him in it.
Karim Janat
AFG | ALL
Karim also could not contribute much in the previous game. He can be left out of your fantasy team.
