Ishan Kishan will return to the ODI team
It is also being claimed in the report that Ishan Kishan may return to the ODI team. After amazing performance in T20 World Cup and now excellent performance in IPL, Ishan Kishan’s return to the ODI team is now certain. Ishan Kishan has scored more than 400 runs for Sunrisers Hyderabad so far. Ishaan has also performed amazingly in the ODI format. Ishaan has scored 933 runs at an average of more than 42. He has also scored a double century in ODIs. Ishaan’s return means that Rishabh Pant will be dropped from the ODI team. This player has scored only 251 runs in 11 innings in IPL 2026.
Jadeja-Akshar Patel: Who to choose?
Team India’s selectors are stuck on the issue of selecting one between Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel. According to the report of Times of India, the selectors are not happy with the batting style of Ravindra Jadeja. He often faces difficulty in increasing the run rate in the death overs, after which Jadeja can be dropped from the ODI team against Afghanistan. In such a situation, Akshar Patel can be selected against Afghanistan. Now whether Hardik Pandya will be able to play in this series or not is also a big question.
