In the holy month of Ramadan, under the leadership of Virat Kohli’s deputy Ajinkya Rahane, India locked the horns with Afghanistan in the historic one-off Test match at Bengaluru.
It was most glittering moment for the Afghanistan as played their maiden historic test match in the red ball format. Afghanistan struggled, they have waited and finally, Test cricket will have a new nation.
Despite the early morning moisture on the pitch India managed to put 474 runs on the board. All- rounder Hardik Pandya's half-century steers hosts to 474. But the rain being a reoccurring enemy, the day was constantly interrupted, and it slowed down India’s momentum.
The wicket seems to be harder little bit. Player's can also see a few notch which makes it even more surprising that they continue to trust the old ball.
