The IND vs AFG T20I series will start on January 11 in Mohali.

With the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 just a few months away, Team India will play their last T20I series against Afghanistan before the big T20I event. The IND vs AFG T20I series will start on January 11 at the I.S Bindra Stadium in Mohali. The Indian selection committee announced a 16-member squad for India, with a number of key players resting from the series.

However, the squad saw the return of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma (captain), which was very long-awaited. The squad is a mix of youngsters and experienced players, which is pretty exciting. However, in all three games, fans need to pick up some important players whenever they make the Dream11 team.

Arshdeep Singh has been the highest wicket-taker for India in the shorter format since his debut. He is always among the wickets with this ability to move the ball both ways. He was the highest wicket-taker for India in the ODI series against South Africa and is India’s new ball bowler. Arshdeep also bowls at the death, which gives him more chances to take wickets. That’s why he is a key player for any Dream11 team.

4. Axar Patel:

With Ravindra Jadeja rested, Axar Patel will be a certainty in the playing XI for the IND vs AFG series. The all-rounder was in great form against Australia and did well with the ball. He takes wickets at decent economy rates, which collect points. Then, when needed, he can also score runs, which makes him a good pick for fantasy platforms.

3. Tilak Varma:

With no Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, or Hardik Pandya in the middle, we will see Tilak Varma bat in the middle order. That will give him a chance to score runs. He is a good batter who has been in good form and can score crucial runs with the bat. Adding to that, if he can bowl a couple of overs and take wickets, that will make him an obvious choice for the Dream11 team.

2. Rohit Sharma:

Rohit Sharma is a must-have for any fantasy team. He is a totally different beast when it comes to T20 cricket. He can score runs quickly and make an impact. With the three matches scheduled to take place at venues that are known for batting paradise, Rohit will be very dangerous. Hence, fans can pick him as a captain for the fantasy platform.

1. Virat Kohli:

If you are new to fantasy platforms and don’t know much about Dream11 teams, make Virat Kohli the captain. The former Indian captain will be the most picked captain, for sure. In the form he is in, he is expected to make the most of it and make a remarkable comeback in the shorter format.
