IND vs AFG: ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 group stage is over and the stage is set for high-octane Super 8s. India, unbeaten so far in the tournament, will take on Afghanistan in IND vs AFG T20 World Cup 2024 match on Thursday (June 20) in Barbados, West Indies.

India's 15-member T20 World Cup 2024 squad includes four spinners. So far, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel have been preferred in the playing XI due to their batting abilities, while wrist-spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav have warmed the bench.

This was the case during the group stage hosted in USA. However, as the tournament now moves to the Super 8s in West Indies, we might see India fielding at least three, if not all, spinners in their playing 11, based on the conditions.

Meanwhile, former India pacer Irfan Pathan has named his India playing 11 on Star Sports for IND vs AFG T20 World Cup Super 8 clash.

Irfan Pathan excluded Yashasvi Jaiswal and Mohammad Siraj from his IND playing 11 against Afghanistan. He preferred Arshdeep Singh in the fast bowling department over Siraj.

Pathan has retained Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma as the opening pair. Following them, Rishabh Pant is slated to bat at number three in his suggested lineup.

Irfan Pathan made minimal changes to the middle order, retaining Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, and Hardik Pandya in his lineup. With the dry pitches in West Indies in mind, Pathan opted for just one change, bringing in Kuldeep Yadav instead of Mohammad Siraj.

As per Irfan Pathan's India playing 11 for IND vs AFG T20 World Cup Super 8 match, India is likely to field two fast bowlers, Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh, alongside three spinners: Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, and Kuldeep Yadav.

Irfan Pathan's IND playing 11 for India vs Afghanistan T20 World Cup Super 8 match: Rohit Sharma (C), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadaja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh.
