India is set to play against Afghanistan in a one-off Test match on June 6 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur. The match will commence at 9:30 AM IST, with the toss scheduled for 9 AM IST. This encounter marks a significant moment for Afghanistan, who previously faced India in their inaugural Test in 2018, where they suffered a quick defeat. India, currently in a transitional phase, is looking to experiment with team combinations while addressing critical issues such as finding a reliable No. 3 batsman and a long-term replacement for Ravindra Jadeja in red-ball cricket. Head coach Gautam Gambhir has expressed his support for Sai Sudharsan in the No. 3 position, despite competition from Devdutt Padikkal. Fans can watch the match live on the Star Sports Network and stream it on JioHotstar.
