 IND vs AFG 3rd T20I 3 Players To Watch Out For : Match Insights

The imminent clash between India and Afghanistan in the third and final T20I presents a pivotal opportunity for certain players to secure their positions in the national squad before the T20 World Cup later this year. While additional T20I series await these teams in the next six months, selection for future competitions remains contingent on current performances.

As highlighted by the "IND vs AFG 3rd T20I 3 Players To Watch Out For," the decisive match is scheduled to take place at Bangalore's Chinnaswamy Stadium on January 17th, Wednesday.

Key Players to Monitor:

  1. Sanju Samson:

  • Renowned for his consistent performances in the IPL, Sanju Samson faces the challenge of translating his franchise success into a solid presence in the national T20I side. Despite an impressive average of over 55 in ODIs, his T20I average dips below 20. As a dynamic top-order batter and an exceptional wicketkeeper, the 29-year-old needs a standout performance in this series to solidify his place in the national squad.

  1. Rahmanullah Gurbaz:

  • A rising star in Afghan cricket, Rahmanullah Gurbaz showcased his skills in various T20 leagues globally, including a notable stint with Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2023. While his international performance in 2023 was decent, the 22-year-old possesses an 'X-factor' as a prolific stroke player. With the ability to impact any match at any moment, Gurbaz remains a player to watch closely in the upcoming T20I.

  1. Tilak Varma:

  • Fresh from representing Mumbai Indians in the IPL, Tilak Varma emerges as a potential solution to India's no.4 slot in T20 cricket. With a commendable IPL record, scoring 740 runs at an average of nearly 40 and a strike rate exceeding 144, Varma has made a promising start to his international career. Having debuted in August 2023, the young batter has already notched two half-centuries in T20Is, showcasing a strike rate over 140 and an average above 30. A strong performance in this series could secure Varma's role as a regular no.4 for the Indian team leading up to the T20 World Cup.
