India's probable playing 11 for IND vs AFG 3rd T20I: India have started their 2024 cricketing carnival on an unbeaten note as they have been seamlessly sensational across the Tests and T20I's played so far. After thrashing South Africa in the second Test, India were coming into this series full of confidence against a side that has recently seen its greatest ever cricketing run so far.
India and Afghanistan have locked horns twice in the series, on January 11 and January 14 in the first and second T20I respectively. On both the occasions, the Indian side have come triumphant with ease, as they managed to chase the paltry totals given by the Afghans without breaking a sweat.
With now the series wrapped up and India playing a dead rubber at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on January 17, we might see some changes in the side as the substitutes who sat in the dugout might get a chance to showcase their talent and stamp their authority with a statement of a performance, keeping in mind the upcoming T20 World Cup in June.
Such has been the case with Shivam Dube, who's exhibitions have dazzled the Indian Cricket Team (ICT) fans and he added more flavour to the snack when he acknowledged the contribution of Mahendra Singh Dhoni and support of Rohit Sharma in his performance and confidence.
"Rohit Sharma is happy with me. He said I played well. My success credit goes to MS Dhoni and CSK. Mahi bhai gave me confidence that I can do it, CSK management told me they believed in me and always had the faith that I could perform. I've watched Mahi bhai finishing the games for India over the years, I'm just following that path," said Shivam Dube in post-match presentation.
