Still without Shubman Gill, Men in Blue will face Afghanistan in their second match of the 2023 ICC World Cup here at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Wednesday.
India suffered a stutter in batting efforts in their WC opener against Chennai, Men in Blue managed to get out of trouble from 2/3 courtesy of Virat Kohli's 85 and KL Rahul's 97 to win the game by six wickets.
While both teams will aim to increase their at-bat efficiency, attention may shift to each team's spinners. Both teams have access to some of the best tweakers in international cricket, and they may well make good use of them on Wednesday.
India squad: Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul (wk), Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami, Suryakumar Yadav and Shardul Thakur.
