AFG vs IND 1st T20I, Approaching Milestones and Records: The much-awaited T20I series between Afghanistan and India is all set to kick off on Sunday, September 13, in Delhi. The Indian Cricket Team led by Shreyas Iyer will square off with the Afghanistan Cricket Team under Ibrahim Zadran. This match will be played at Arun Jaitley Stadium, starting at 7 PM IST.

Shreyas has a chance to add a home series win under his belt as he is coming off a series win in Zimbabwe, after two poor outings in Ireland and England. Jasprit Bumrah is back, which will boost the Indian pace unit. All-rounders Washington Sundar and Nitish Kumar Reddy are also back after injuries.

India are looking very good with their combination. It will be interesting to see who will open for India among Abhishek, Suryavanshi, and Samson. Ibrahim Zadran will lead Afghanistan. He has been appointed as the new captain, replacing Rashid Khan. Afghanistan have not beaten India at the international level. Can they end this draught on Sunday?
