Grand League punts
> Regardless of whether the track proves to be flat or slow, it'll be smart to take a punt on Kuldeep Yadav. He will snarl wickets on a turner and will also have the best opportunity to pick wickets on a flat deck due to the x-factor he brings. This is also a track Kuldeep knows really well, given he plies his trade for Delhi Capitals in the IPL.
> Likewise, captaining or vice-captaining Bumrah or Siraj could be a smart move. This year, Afghanistan's average against pacers in the powerplay (21.3) is the lowest among all sides playing in this World Cup.
Probable XIs
India: Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin / Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj
