India vs Afghanistan, Live cricket score, one-off Test, Day 1, Bangalore: IND off to solid start

Afghanistan cricket team will realise a long-cherished dream when it debuts as a Test nation in Bangalore on Thursday. The Asghar Stanikzai-led visitors have made rapid progress in international cricket in recent times and would hope to make an impressive start in their Test journey. India are without regular captain Virat Kohli, who initially opted to play for the English county championship side Surrey in June but that did not materialise as he hurt his neck while fielding during the IPL. First-choice wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha and paceman Mohammed Shami are also out of action with injuries. For Afghanistan, their three spinners – Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Mohammed Nabi – will be crucial. India have won the toss and have opted to bat.
