The one-off Test between India and Afghanistan will begin on Saturday, June 6, at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh. The match gives the Indian team an opportunity to fine-tune their batting lineup and address top-order concerns ahead of a busy Test schedule.
"You can only pick XI, unfortunately. Sometimes you just have to wait for your opportunity. I've always believed that guys who we are going to play, we give them a fair run," Gautam Gambhir told reporters at the pre-match press conference.
Sai Sudharsan is still looking to cement his place in India's Test side. The left-hander has scored 302 runs in six Tests at an average of 27.45, including two half-centuries, with a highest score of 87. The upcoming Test against Afghanistan could provide another important opportunity to strengthen his case.
