India vs Afghanistan 2018: 5 player battles to watch out for

#1 Rashid Khan vs Cheteshwar Pujara

The hottest property in cricket at the moment

He has been the toast of the cricketing world over the past fifteen months and the 'best bowler in T20 cricket' will have eyeballs tracking him when he bounces in and releases that cricket ball.

Rashid has been in sensational form with the white ball, but Test match and its nuances are an entirely different kettle of fish and he would know that here he will not get wickets for fun, but will have to prise them out.

Pujara will be one of those prized possessions Rashid would hope to scalp, but the going might not be very easy. The right-hander will never blink and he has to be forced out to step out of his bubble in Test cricket and this is where the challenge lies.

How Pujara tackles Rashid and plots his downfall might well drop the hammer on the eventual result of the match.
