Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and Ravindra Jadeja starred in India’s nail-biting win over Australia. Now, the focus shifts to Delhi, where India will play their second WC game. Delhi is the home ground of Kohli, and yet again, all eyes will be on the talismanic batter to guide India to victory.

IND vs AFG: Virat Kohli in focus as India aims to make two on two wins against Afghanistan
Kohli has often said he gets goosebumps playing at his home ground. Now, with the World Cup match set to be played at Arun Jaitley Stadium, the former India captain would be eager to put on a stellar performance. Not only Kohli, but the other batters would also be eager to show their mettle against Afghanistan.
Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Shreyas Iyer missed out on against Australia. All three batters were dismissed for ducks. In Delhi, the game between South Africa vs Sri Lanka witnessed a high-scoring game. The former scored 428 runs, while the latter scored more than 300 runs. If the pitch for IND vs AFG is the same as was the one between SA vs SL, then the match will be a high-scoring one.
