And the ODI-leg finally restarts for the Indian team, as the Shubman Gill-led side takes on Afghanistan, in Dharamsala on Saturday. The team will be sans Virat Kohli, but with Rohit Sharma still around, all the focus would be on him alone. But with rain prediction around, the big question is, if we will get to see a full match?
Dharamsala weather report for IND vs AFG, 1st ODI
As per Accuweather, there is a 55% chance of precipitation, and a 33% chance of thunderstorms over the city. But that might just be the case in the afternoon, as there is no rain predicted for the evening. So, all-in-all, there could be a delayed start, but we might get in a match, after all. Overall, the temperature remains on the lower side during the day – 24-28, while in the night it drops to a very decent 16-19.
HPCA Stadium pitch report
Dharamsala pitch will be a good wicket overall, with plenty of runs in the offing, due to shorter boundaries, and also true bounce. Spinners and pacers might get some assistance during the middle overs, but it is for the batters to make hay. The IPL 2026 saw 200 being breached 6 times in 4 matches, where it was chased down twice. So, toss would not be a major consideration. It will be a battle of the batters, whoever does better, wins the match.

India Squad: Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill(c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w), Washington Sundar, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harsh Dubey, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Gurnoor Brar, Prasidh Krishna, Prince Yadav
