India aims to extend domination against Afghanistan
India is set to face Afghanistan in a three-match ODI cricket series starting June 12, 2026. The series features veteran Rohit Sharma, while Virat Kohli remains sidelined due to injury.
Why it matters
This series serves as a critical testing ground for India's team composition and player form ahead of the 2027 World Cup.
Fans in India have been bingeing on T20 cricket this year, starting with the men’s World Cup, followed by more than two months of IPL. A few days after the T20 league, there was the one-off Test against Afghanistan. After witnessing cricket at both extremes of the sport’s format spectrum, focus now shifts to the middle ground when the Men in Blue take on the Afghans in a three-match ODI series starting here at the picturesque HPCA Stadium on Saturday (June 12, 2026).
