The first T20I game between India and Afghanistan will be played in Mohali. This will be a three-match T20I series, with both teams looking to find the right combination going forward towards the T20 World Cup 2024.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rohit Sharma will be back as T20I captain, while Virat Kohli will also be making his comeback. This will boost India's batting, for sure. However, the Indian management has given rest to some of the key players, and it will be a mix of young and experienced players. On the other hand, Afghanistan also have a full-strength team that can compete in any condition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
