In the ongoing one-off Test against Afghanistan, India has established a commanding position, leading by 412 runs after Afghanistan was bowled out for 152. The standout performer for India was debutant left-arm spinner Manav Suthar, who claimed 6 wickets for 33 runs. The match took a dramatic turn during the 58th over when Afghanistan's No. 10 batter, Mohammad Saleem Safi, was dismissed after the on-field umpire's decision. Despite appearing to consider a review, Safi walked off the field without challenging the decision, leading to confusion and frustration among his teammates and support staff. Television footage captured animated discussions near the Afghanistan dugout, highlighting the team's discontent with the situation. The ball-tracking replay later revealed that the delivery had pitched outside leg stump, indicating that the decision would have been overturned had Safi opted for the review. With Afghanistan's lower order collapsing and only adding 39 runs to their overnight score, India enforced the follow-on, further asserting their dominance in the match.
