IND vs AFG: Indian team is ready to face Afghanistan in the first ODI match today. This match will be played in Dharamshala, which will start at 1 pm Indian time. In this match, all eyes will be on Rohit Sharma, but fans will not be able to see Virat Kohli for a long time. Because Virat is out of the entire series due to hamstring injury.

Let us tell you that Virat bats at number-3 and in the last 7 matches he has scored runs at an excellent average of 123.2.

Yashasvi Jaiswal was included in the ODI team in his place in the ODI series, but will Jaiswal get a chance to bat at the third order. Know here with which playing eleven Team India can take the field today and who can replace Virat.

Who will replace Virat Kohli?

The opening spots of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are confirmed. KL Rahul has already batted in the top order, but in the absence of Hardik Pandya, Team India will need an experienced batsman in the middle order, so Rahul can continue batting at number 5. Whereas, Shreyas Iyer is handling the fourth batting order.

Before the first ODI, Indian team’s bowling coach Morne Morkel had said that there is a race between Ishan Kishan, Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul for number-3.

In such a situation, Ishan Kishan and Yashasvi Jaiswal have been kept in the team in place of Virat Kohli, who bats in the top order. In today’s match, Ishan Kishan may get a chance at number 3 in place of Jaiswal. Since Jaiswal mostly opens, Kishan has taken the number 3 role in the T20 team. Therefore, it is possible that Kishan may get a chance to bat in the third order instead of Kohli.

India’s probable playing XI for the first ODI

Shubman Gill (captain), Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer (vice-captain), KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Harsh Dubey, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna.
