As India will lock horns with a comparatively weaker Afghanistan team, star batter Virat Kohli will be available for selection after missing the first match. Afghanistan's star spinner Rashid Khan has already been declared out of the complete series because he is recovering from his lower back surgery.
Veteran all-rounder Mohammad Nabi played a crucial knock of 42 runs in Afghanistan's 158-run total. The 39-year-old is an important arsenal in the Afghanistan batting and bowling line-up as well. Captain Ibrahim Zadran will be leading his team to save and level the series on Sunday's encounter.
