Afghanistan struck back with three wickets in the opening session of Day 2, but India remained firmly in control at 475-6 in its first innings during the one-off cricket test at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
India added 107 runs for the loss of three wickets during the first session, maintaining their commanding position after a strong showing on Day 1. The hosts resumed their innings with significant momentum from the previous day's play, building on an already substantial score.
Mohammad Saleem was the standout bowler for Afghanistan, adding two more wickets to his tally during the morning session. His efforts provided some resistance for the visiting side, though India's substantial total continued to pose a significant challenge as the match progressed.
Indian skipper Shubman Gill, who had scored a century on Day 1 alongside Lokesh Rahul, could only add another 23 runs to his score before being dismissed. Rahul had also reached his century on the opening day, contributing significantly to India's formidable total. Both centuries proved instrumental in establishing India's dominant position in this one-off test match.
