In a one-off Test match held in Mullanpur, Afghanistan faced a crushing defeat against India, losing by an innings and 300 runs. The match was highlighted by Afghanistan's repeated blunders with the Decision Review System (DRS). From the outset, Afghanistan failed to utilize DRS effectively, leading to missed opportunities for crucial wickets. A particularly notable moment occurred on Day 3 when tailender Mohammad Saleem Safi was given out LBW by the on-field umpire after being trapped by India's debutant spinner Manav Suthar. Although it appeared Safi was considering a review, he ultimately walked off, only to engage in an animated discussion in the dugout. Replays later indicated that the ball had pitched outside leg-stump, suggesting that a review could have overturned the decision. India declared their first innings at a formidable total of 564/8, thanks to centuries from Shubman Gill and KL Rahul, while Suthar's outstanding bowling performance sealed the match, marking India's largest victory by an innings in Test cricket history. However, this match did not affect India's standing in the ICC World Test Championship.
