DHARAMSALA: Pacer Gurnoor Brar impressed on his international debut before captain Shubman Gill played a regal knock to set up India’s seven-wicket win over Afghanistan in the rain-hit series opener here on Saturday.
The game marked the start of India’s preparations for the ODI World Cup in 2027 and the hosts ended up ticking most boxes after persistent rain delayed the game by four and 15 minutes and cut the game to 25 overs a side contest.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz made a high quality 102 off just 51 balls while debutants Brar and Harsh Dubey took three wickets each as India bowled out Afghanistan for 194 after opting to field.
