T20 World Cup 2021: 3 Surprise picks for Dream11 Fantasy teams for India vs Afghanistan

India’s journey at the T20 World Cup 2021 is currently hanging in the balance ahead of their clash against Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi. They have lost two consecutive matches in the Super 12 stage and desperately need a win, more importantly, a big win. Afghanistan has some form going on winning two of three matches so far. Nevertheless, the fans can reap several rewards by using a bit of their game plan on the fantasy apps. Here are-

3 surprise picks for the match between India and Afghanistan: 

1. Ravindra Jadeja

The Indian all-rounder was expected to be one of the most important players going into this World Cup. However, his performances have been as mediocre as his team’s entire effort. With the ball, he hasn’t looked anywhere near where he is expected to be. While with the bat, there was a bit of improvement in the last match. India would hope he utilizes the opportunity and manages to get some runs. His job is quite crucial in this team and he might cause a little trouble with the ball for Afghanistan. 

2. KL Rahul 

The Indian batter has not been great in T20Is off late. His bad form started earlier this year in a series against England at home. Since then, he has picked up runs in ODIs and Tests as well as in the IPL. However, in T20Is, his form hasn’t been good. Rahul has 36 runs in seven innings and will be looking to bounce back. Having said that, he is also a good player of spin, which might help him have an edge over the Afghanistan attack. 

3. Mohammad Shahzad

The wicketkeeper batter has been quite good with the bat since his comeback into the Afghanistan set-up. His performances have been crucial for Afghanistan so far and his 45 runs in the last game showed why exactly he was picked up late but directly in the XI for the tournament. Interestingly, he scored a fantastic ton for Afghanistan when he played for them against India at the Asia Cup 2018. He would hope to get another score and even if he doesn’t, he will always manage to get fantasy points with his dismissals from behind the stumps.
