Fully warmed up!

It’s time for national anthems, India after Afghanistan.

The portion of the sight screen that is flickering from its dual existence as an advertising board has some black tape applied over it.

The opening ball from Arshdeep angles across Gurbaz and is left unopposed outside off stump.

Actually, let’s start with three dot balls.

Arshdeep is in possession of the ball for India, but there’s a pause. Gurbaz and Ibrahim are out to begin, with the latter going straight to the left-arm seamer for a strike.

Gurbaz is agitated by the bowler’s little delay, which has an underlying issue.

There is a flickering light on the sight screen, which also functions as an advertisement board when bowling is taking place on the opposite end.

The groups are in route to the center.

In Mohali, where the temperature is the talk of the town, they are prepared to go.

For this one, the players have been warming up while wearing bobble hats.

Afghanistan vs India match athletes would need to exercise flexibility given their hectic schedule.

India’s final T20 internationals before the T20 World Cup kicks off on June 1 are these three games.

Given their back-to-back series in all formats following the Cricket World Cup in November and December, as well as the international competitions that preceded it, India’s coach Rahul Dravid says the team had to manage the players’ workload.

“In the past few years, there have been numerous ICC events, many of them back-to-back. Consequently, there hasn’t been much time between events, according to Dravid.

“With the quantity of cricket played, we have had to prioritise formats during my tenure here. The boys can’t play all the time, so we’ve got to figure out what matters most first.”

“As we consider the England Test series, there are players missing from this squad,” Dravid continued, specifically mentioning Jasprit Bumrah’s absence.”

“There isn’t much time to prepare for this T20 World Cup, so we will have to rely on what we have and the Afghanistan vs India match Premier League as well,” the player said.All you need to do is be adaptable and flexible. We will have to accept it this time even if we had a great lead going into the last World Cup and the previous T20 World Cup.

Jaiswal is left out

Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was supposed to open the series with Rohit Sharma, has stated that she will miss the opening game because of a sore groin.
