3 Afghanistan players who were impressive in the recent T20I series against India

The Afghans gave a trailer of what they are looking to do in the T20 World Cup in a few months. Afghanistan put on a solid show in the final match of the series in Bengaluru and it was reflective of the firepower that they possess. In this article, we will take a look at 3 Afghanistan players who were impressive in the recent T20I series against India. 

1. Gulbadin Naib

After the first T20I Afghanistan made a prompt change in the lineup as they dropped Rahmat Shah to accommodate Gulbadin Naib and that decision worked in their favour. Gulbadin Naib scored consecutive half-centuries in Indore and Bengaluru and it appears that he has grabbed the No.3 spot with both hands. Both the knocks were played in an explosive fashion and gave Afghanistan a good chance of putting the home side in trouble. He is arguably the biggest positive for Afghanistan from this series.

2. Fareed Ahmad

The left-arm fast bowler Fareed Ahmad was given an opportunity in the 3rd T20I at Bengaluru and he exploited that opportunity to his advantage. Fareed bowled brilliantly in the initial spell and gave multiple breakthroughs to his team. He dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, and Sanju Samson which reduced India to 22/4 in the first innings. This bowling spell would give him a lot of confidence as he dismissed some of the prominent names of the Indian batting unit and Afghanistan team management would be elated as they have another wicket-taking option.

3. Azmatullah Omarzai

Azmatullah Omarzai is evolving into a bright prospect for Afghanistan because of his all-round skills. The all-rounder made an impact in the series with both his bowling and batting skills. Omarzai was also impressive in the ODI World Cup and now these consistent performances have put him in a great position in terms of his selection in the T20 World Cup squad. His versatility in the batting order is another crucial aspect that makes him an asset for Afghanistan.
