India have already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series and Rohit, who missed out on the last match, will likely look to finish on a high. It also helped his cause that his replacement Yashasvi Jaiswal could score only 4 in the match.
Also, with Harshit Rana back in the setup, the pacer is expected to get a look in vs Afghanistan in this ODI while India might opt to rest KL Rahul and give Ishan Kishan a run with the wicketkeeper’s gloves. Also, allrounder Nitish Reddy is fit and available and will get a match, assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate had revealed on Friday.
For Afghanistan, Mohammad Nabi and Azmatullah Omarzai had missed the second ODI and if they have recovered, will likely slot in seamlessly in the XI. If so, Bilal Sami and Darwish Rasooli are likely to give way.
