India vs Afghanistan: Five Afghani players to watch out for in the upcoming test match

Rashid Khan has performed exceedingly well in recent times

#4 Mohammad Shahzad

Shahzad will know the importance of quick runs

Known as “MS” by his teammates, Mohammad Shahzad is a huge MS Dhoni fan and somewhat bats like him too. The wicket-keeping batter, on his day, can tear apart any given bowling attack as he is known for his aggressive batting.

Afghanistan will rely on him to give them a pacy start and on which the team can build a score. Shahzad will know the importance of quick runs but at the same time, he’ll have to contain himself from going for the big shots every ball.

Test cricket is a different ball game altogether and it will be interesting to see how Shahzad makes that slight adjustment to his game.

Nonetheless, he is a key figure for Afghanistan and will be keen to perform well in the historic one-off test match.
