The Indian cricket team is set to give Yashasvi Jaiswal another opportunity in the final One Day International (ODI) against Afghanistan, as the management looks to assess the young opener's credentials. All-rounder Nitish is also expected to return to the playing eleven for the series finale.
Jaiswal to Get Extended Run
Yashasvi Jaiswal, who impressed in the T20 format, will be given a longer rope in the 50-over format. The team management wants to see how he adapts to the ODI setup, especially after his promising performances in domestic cricket and the Indian Premier League.
Nitish Set for Comeback
Nitish, who missed the previous match due to a minor niggle, has fully recovered and is ready to contribute both with the bat and ball. His all-round abilities provide balance to the side, and his return is expected to strengthen the lower middle order.
Team Combination
With Jaiswal likely to open alongside Rohit Sharma, the middle order will feature Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, and KL Rahul. The bowling attack is expected to include Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Kuldeep Yadav, with Nitish providing the sixth bowling option.
The match will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, with the series already decided in India's favor after wins in the first two ODIs.
