The one-off Test between India and Afghanistan began on Saturday, June 6, at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur. Team India captain Shubman Gill won the toss and chose to bat first. Meanwhile, Rajasthan all-rounder Manav Suthar made his Test debut for the hosts.
The match also signaled the start of a transition in India's spin department. Ashwin has retired from international cricket, while Jadeja was rested for the Afghanistan Test. The team management used the opportunity to assess younger spin options and strengthen India's future bowling reserves.
India's Last Home Test Without Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja
The last time India played a home Test without both Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja was against New Zealand in Nagpur in November 2010. At that time, neither spinner had made his Test debut. Ashwin made his Test debut in 2011, while Ravindra Jadeja followed a year later in 2012.
In that Nagpur Test, Harbhajan Singh and Pragyan Ojha led India's spin attack. India dominated the match, bowling New Zealand out for 193 and 175 before securing an innings-and-198-run victory. Rahul Dravid starred with 191 runs, while the bowlers combined to complete a comprehensive win.
The Preparation Has Been Good - Shubman Gill
“The preparation has been good. Got a good couple of days of sleep. Nine Test matches after this, we've got quite a few home Test matches.”
