India will lock horns with Afghanistan in a one-off Test match at the New PCA Cricket Stadium in Mullan, New Chandigarh.
The two sides have met only once in Test matches in the historic game in 2018, when Afghanistan made their debut as a Test nation. Back then, India had comfortably won the one-off game.

India’s performance in Test matches has been far from ideal under Gautam Gambhir’s tutelage as they are yet to win a Test series against a major opponent.
In fact, since Gambhir arrived as the head coach, India have lost two home Test series against New Zealand and South Africa and both were whitewashes.
India have named a full-strength squad, led by captain Shubman Gill, although star pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been rested for the Test match.
