While the ‘A’ teams are going against each other in the tri-series, the senior teams of India and Afghanistan are set to battle it out. The second one-day international is about to start, and the Shubman Gill-led side is already ahead in the series after a comfortable win (via DLS) in Dharamsala.
Now, things head to Lucknow, where the temperature is likely to be quite hot, especially for the team who fields first. The pitch is likely to be a well-balanced one. Will Rohit Sharma play is a major question mark, especially after he got hit on his wrist in the previous game. There are chances that he may not miss out, considering he took part in India’s practice on matchday eve. Meanwhile, Kuldeep Yadav is another exciting option for the Gautam Gambhir-coached side.
