The team mixes raw aggressive purpose with vast batting depth, boasting a dynamic combination of explosive top-order hitters like Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson as well as exceptional all-rounders like Axar Patel and Shivam Dube. India, led by Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh, as well as a potent spin combination of Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, and Washington Sundar, hopes to extend its overwhelming bilateral home run and preserve a perfect T20I head-to-head record against Afghanistan.
