400 up for India
Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja take India’s total to 400/7 in the first session. It is a good total, but it is still a batting surface, despite frequent spells of rains, and both these allrounders need to deliver with the ball as well.

Afghanistan have the option to take the new ball
Afghanistan have the option to take the new ball but for now the captain Asghar Stanikzai is sticking with the older ball and keeping Rashid Khan on the attack. He clearly is backing the best bowler of his side to take up another wicket early in the day. It remains to be seen if this proves any effective.

Pitch Report
In spite of the rain, the pitch is still an excellent surface to bat on. There is a litte bit of moisture on the surface due to the rains, and there are signs that it might slow down on Day 2 and Day 3. But at the moment, it is still hard and solid to bat on.

IND vs AFG TEST DAY 2
If India had hoped for an easy time against Afghanistan, they were put back into a shocking final session on the first day with the Afghanistan bowlers taking six wickets to bring their side back into the match. India had got off to a good start and will hope they can regain the confidence to pull back and start batting smartly again. Afghanistan, on the other hand, will look to get wickets. Exciting Day in store, but the rains can play a huge role again.

India will need to depend on Hardik Pandya and Ravichandran Ashwin, both allrounders in their own regard, to script another big partnership for their side. India needs to take inspiration from Shikhar Dhawan, Murali Vijay and KL Rahul, who faced Afghanistan bowlers brilliantly on Day 1 and went on to put runs on the board. The hosts would look to reach as close as possible to 500-run mark on Day 2, while the visitors will look to have a strong first session to bowl the hosts out for less than 400. The players will be hoping that the rain do not play a part in the match on Day 2.
