Afghanistan Wins the Toss and Bats Against India in the Final One Day Cricket Match
India will rotate players and test its ODI depth as it seeks a 3-0 series sweep over Afghanistan.
- India hosts Afghanistan today at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai for the third and final One-Day International, seeking a clean sweep after wins in Dharamsala and Lucknow.
- Afghanistan fielding coach George Mooney acknowledged the skill gap, stating his players must "improve" their basics to catch up, while India's management prioritizes long-term development of performers like Ishan Kishan.
- India expects to rotate the squad, likely resting Arshdeep Singh while welcoming back Nitish and Harsh Dubey; Harshit Rana trained Friday following a knee injury but management remains cautious about his availability.
- Assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate confirmed Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal will open again despite struggles; Rohit managed 64 runs across two games while Jaiswal scored only four in the second ODI.
- Chepauk is expected to offer a slower surface favoring spinners, positioning Afghanistan to rely on Allah Ghazanfar and Rashid Khan to end the tour positively despite ongoing fitness concerns.
