A series win over Afghanistan is still not counted among the grandstand cricketing feats, but a clutch of players will be eager to achieve that here on Sunday in the second T20I as it can transform them into contenders from sidekicks.

India won the opening match of the three-match T20I series against Afghanistan. Jitesh Sharma, Washington Sundar and Axar Patel need to deliver performances against Afghanistan in the remaining two matches to keep themselves in selectors's right as they move ahead to find the perfect India's T20 World Cup squad.
