The last time these 2 teams met was in a tied game in the dead rubber at the Asia cup. India took its foot of the pedal and Shehzad their keeper played a blinder who is obviously not playing tomorrow. Not that it’s a big deal either way.

 

India’s intensity is going to be switched on this time 

 

 

India Probable XI: Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Vijay Shankar, MS Dhoni, Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah
 

 

Probable XI: Noor Ali Zadran, Gulbadin Naib, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi, Asghar Afghan, Mohammad Nabi, Najibullah Zadran, Rashid Khan, Ikram Ali Khil, Dawlat Zadran/Hamid Hassan, Mujeeb ur Rahman

 

Hope Afghan bring on a fight or else at this point looks like.........

Afghanistan’s best shot is to bat first and then hope Rashid and Nabi find form or else it’s going to be a cakewalk but Afghan have nothing to lose  which can at times be dangerous if you are switched off

If IND lose tomorrow, everybody else will rejoice for sure.

Last time both teams met it was a tie. I want to see two changes Pant for Jadhav and Shami for Bhuvi. I back Bumrah and Shami to make early inroads and put Afghans under pressure early.

I want 3 changes Pant,Shami,Jadeja in place of Jadhav,Bhuvi & Shankar. If they are brave,they can rest one out of Kohli/Rohit/Dhoni & play DK. If chasing Kohli should give others a chance to bat ahead of him.

no need to rest and break momentum for Rohit and Kohli.  They already had a 6-day break after Pak game. Jadeja in place of Shankar.  :cantstop: you are crazy.

We need a left hander to tackle Rashid.  He can be all over right handers on his day.

Unispin shall be dangerous ,if they use the same pitch used for NZ and SA match.

Are you the Normal from Carnivale? Who rests main players in a WC. Rohit would want to top the run charts why would he want to rest?

So just because someone want to top the run charts , we should play him in every game regardless of everything else like "Giving game time to untested players to get them game ready in case of any injury" or things like that. Imagine Rahul or Rohit getting injured before the Semi final game and since, we have zero  reserve openers now , who'd you play ? 

We never thought Dhawan will get injured this early in the world cup and we would open with Rahul. We have got be ready with a plan B in every situation.

So we dont have any opener and you are resting Rohit.  You want us to play with one opener. Also resting breaks the momentum for a batsman.  When in form, a batsman wants to keep going in a tournament and not rest when there is enough breaks in between games.  WC is not for preparing for injuries but playing best available team. One game wont do any good for any untested or a replacement player.
