IND A Vs AFG A: A crucial tri-series match between India A and Afghanistan A is scheduled for today. High hopes are pinned on Vaibhav Suryavanshi for this game, especially after he failed to make an impact against Sri Lanka A. India A had defeated Sri Lanka A by a narrow margin of 8 runs in their opening match.
The Indian team will pull out all the stops to defeat Afghanistan today and move a step closer to the final. All eyes will be on key players like Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Tilak Varma, and Ruturaj Gaikwad. Here are the details regarding India A’s likely playing XI.
High Hopes for Vaibhav Suryavanshi
While an explosive innings is expected from Vaibhav Suryavanshi, he will also need to focus on staying at the crease for a longer period. Meanwhile, Ruturaj Gaikwad equalled the records of Rahul Dravid and Gautam Gambhir for the most List-A centuries by scoring a hundred against Sri Lanka A. Along with captain Tilak Varma and Suryansh Shedge, the young bowling attack will also be expected to deliver another strong performance.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi made a splash in the IPL. He played aggressive, explosive innings for the Rajasthan Royals in most of the matches. High expectations are pinned on Vaibhav Suryavanshi for today’s match against Afghanistan A.
