After India's dismal show against New Zealand's spin web, the headache has turned into a migraine for India as they take on Afghanistan on Wednesday in Abu Dhabi. The Indian batters need to pull up their socks especially against the Afghan spin attack as their core spin duo Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman have been in lethal form in the ongoing tournament. Besides, the Afghan skipper- Mohammad Nabi also gives tensed nerves with his off-spin.
The deceptive leggie Rashid Khan is in sublime form in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021. In the three innings, Khan has scalped seven wickets and has an economy of 4.74.
His partner in crime, Mujeeb Ur Rahman's form is no less as the in-form off-spinner has maintained an economy of 4.25 in and rattled six wickets in his two outings with the ball.
Ahead of the India-Afghanistan cracking contest, we look at the statistics of Indian batters- Kl Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant against Afghanistan's spin attack.
