After a comprehensive 6-wicket victory over Australia, India will be shifting their focus to their next assignment in this ICC ODI World Cup 2023. The Men in Blue lock horns with Afghanistan and the stakes are quite high.
On the other hand, Afghanistan are coming on the back of a 6-wicket loss at the hands of Bangladesh. The batters let Afghanistan down and they would be hoping that their batters play a more responsible and mature brand of cricket in this game.
As for India, they have been dealt with a major blow as one of their most dependable and reliant batters, Shubman Gill is still in Chennai, in a hospital, as he is recuperating from Dengue, as per a few reports.
In this article, we take a look at the top 3 vice-captain choices for the IND vs AFG game in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023:
1. KL Rahul (India)
After scoring 97* in the previous game versus Australia, KL Rahul’s inclusion in your fantasy team becomes a no-brainer. The flamboyant right-handed batter forged a solid 165-run partnership with Virat Kohli and saved India from a precarious situation.
Post his injury layoff, KL Rahul has looked like a different beast altogether. He would be hoping to have a good game versus Afghanistan.
2. Rashid Khan (Afghanistan)
One of the leading white-ball spinners in the world, Rashid Khan can be one of the top performers of Afghanistan in this ICC ODI World Cup 2023 game versus India. Despite going wicketless in the game against Bangladesh, Khan bowled some exceptional googlies and troubled the Bangladeshi batters.
He has 172 wickets in ODIs and has oodles of experience in this format. Rashid Khan is all set to leave a mark in this game and will be a key player in the bowling department of Afghanistan.
3. Jasprit Bumrah (India)
India’s talismanic speedster, Jasprit Bumrah, will be spearheading India’s bowling charts in this game versus Afghanistan. He bagged 2 wickets in the game versus Australia on 8th October 2023.
Bumrah had an exceptional average of 3.5 in the game against the Ozzies and was breathing fire with the white-cherry. He will be a player to watch out for and can be a good-choice vice-captain in your fantasy team in this IND vs AFG game.
