IND vs AFG 1st T20I 3 Players To Watch Out For
India vs Afghanistan 1st T20I Players To Watch Out:
1) Rinku Singh
Rinku Singh has emerged as one of the most promising talents in the Indian setup in the last year or so. India has seen a genuine finisher after a very long time as Rinku promises to be an essential part of the squad in the long run.
In the 8 T20I innings he has played, Rinku has scored at an average of over 65 and a strike rate of over 180.
Who can forget his exploits in the IPL? His 5 sixes off the last five balls against Gujarat Titans in 2023 was one of the greatest feats in clutch batting in the long history of this sport.

2) Mujeeb Ur Rahman
Mujeeb ur Rahman has simultaneously been good and underrated ever since making his national team debut as a teenager.
Known for putting on a break when the opposition batters start to run away with runs, his near 6 economy and an average of just over 17 make him one of the best spinners in the game.
Mujeeb is also quite familiar with the pitch that the 1st T20I will be played on, as he previously played on this ground for the Punjab Kings in the IPL
3) Rahmanullah Gurbaz
Since making his national team debut a few years back, Ramanullah Gurbaz has been the answer to Afghanistan’s batting woes.
A true world-class opener, Gurbaz has shown his class in 2023. A solid innings of 80 in the World Cup, he also scored a 100 for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL this year.
A solid performance against India will go a long way in raising his stock in world cricket.
