Vaibhav Suryavanshi may get a chance in playing 11
In fact, Team India has taken a 2-0 lead in the three-match T20 series being played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. India has won both its matches by 7 wickets. In such a situation, in the third and last match, Vaibhav Suryavanshi can be included in the playing 11 in place of Sanju Samson. Apart from this, keeping in mind the preparations for the Asian Games, Vaibhav can be given a chance today. This match can prove to be a practice match for them.
Vaibhav may get a chance as the third opener
In the Asian Games, India has strong opening options in the form of the pair of Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson. At the same time, by giving a chance to Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the third T20 match against Afghanistan, the management can also consider preparing a third opener. Let us tell you, Vaibhav made his debut in T20 International against England in July this year. Vaibhav has played a total of 6 T20 matches so far, in which he has scored 193 runs at an average of 32.16 in 6 innings. During this period, he scored 2 half-centuries.
Rashid Khan nearing 200 T20 wickets
Afghanistan’s star spinner Rashid Khan is close to completing 200 wickets in T20 International. He is just 4 wickets away from achieving this feat. In this format, he has taken 196 wickets in 117 matches played so far. If Rashid is successful in taking 4 wickets in the third and last T20 match against India, then he will become the first cricketer in the world to take 200 wickets in T20 International.
