India to Play as Away Team in T20I Series Against Afghanistan in Delhi
India is set to start a three-match T20I series against Afghanistan at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The first match will take place on Sunday, marking a unique situation where India will play as the visiting team despite the match being held on home soil.
The Afghanistan Cricket Board is officially hosting the series in Delhi due to security issues that prevent them from holding international matches in Afghanistan. This is the first time India will play a match at home without being the designated home team, as Afghanistan has previously hosted other international teams in India.
As the home side, Afghanistan's captain Ibrahim Zadran will conduct the coin toss, while India's captain Shreyas Iyer will call. The series also allows the Afghanistan Cricket Board to generate revenue through broadcast rights and ticket sales.
