IND vs NAM Playing 11: After defeating the USA in their first match, the Indian cricket team will play their second match of the ICC T20 World Cup against Namibia. India is considered to be a strong contender in the second match as well. The match is scheduled to be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in the capital Delhi on Thursday, starting at 7 p.m.
The Indian team will be keen to maintain its momentum by winning at all costs. Namibia suffered a defeat at the hands of the Netherlands on this very ground. Meanwhile, the question of the Indian team’s playing eleven remains.
According to some reports, India may field two changes against Namibia. Abhishek Sharma may be dropped. Furthermore, if Jasprit Bumrah returns, another bowler may also be dropped.
Why Abhishek Sharma may be out?
The Indian team may field two major changes at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The explosive opener Abhishek Sharma may be ruled out due to illness. He has been admitted to a private hospital in Delhi. In this situation, it seems unlikely that he will play against Namibia.
Abhishek has also developed a stomach infection. Furthermore, he is also down with a fever. If Abhishek is ruled out of the second match, Sanju Samson could be allowed to open the innings.
This player is likely to replace Bumrah.
The return of explosive bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who sat out the first match against the USA due toa fever, is being speculated. Media reports suggest that Jasprit Bumrah is now healthy and could be included in the playing XI against Namibia. If he returns, Mohammed Siraj may be left out. Other than this, no other changes to the Indian team are expected.
Team India will look to maintain its winning momentum
The Indian team, which won the match against the USA thanks to Surya Kumar Yadav, will look to maintain its unbeaten momentum by defeating Namibia. The Indian team will play its third match against Pakistan on February 15th, giving all players a chance to perform well before then.
Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan will try to provide a quick start, while Tilak Verma and the in-form Surya can wreak havoc in the middle order. There are also high expectations from the bowlers. The inclusion of Jasprit Bumrah will add edge to the pace attack.
What could be India’s probable playing XI?
Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, Tilak Verma, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Rinku Singh, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dubey, Axar Patel, Varun Chakravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah.
