India's Middle Order Faces Crucial Rashid Khan Challenge

India are starting a three-match T20 series against Afghanistan.

Afghanistan's biggest bowling threat is Rashid Khan.

He is a spinner who can change his speed and length without giving away his plan.

India's middle-order batters Shreyas Iyer, Tilak Varma and Shivam Dube are good against spin.

However, Rashid may be harder to attack than many other spinners.

The Indian batters may need to take singles instead of always trying to hit boundaries.

Their plan could change depending on when they face Rashid and whether the top order scores quickly.

Afghanistan also have other quality spinners, so India must handle the middle overs carefully.
