Fresh off a dominant, record-breaking victory in the one-off Test match at Mullanpur, India shift their focus to the white-ball format as they prepare to host Afghanistan for a high-octane 3-match ODI series. Under the leadership of young captain Shubman Gill, the Men in Blue boast an exciting mix of experienced stalwarts like Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul alongside dynamic, hungry young prospects.

Afghanistan, led by the steadfast Hashmatullah Shahidi, will be eager to script a massive turnaround. With world-class spin wizards like Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi returning to the squad after being rested for the Test, the visitors possess the firepower to dismantle any batting lineup on their day.
