India vs Afghanistan T20I Series: Full schedule, live streaming in HD, telecast, venues, timing in IST

After a successful conclusion to the two-match Test series against South Africa, the Indian cricket team is gearing up for a 3-match T20I series against Afghanistan. This marks the first bilateral T20I series between the two teams on Indian soil, with previous encounters limited to ICC events.

This T20I series holds particular significance as it serves as the sole bilateral series before the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Following the conclusion of this series, players will be immersed in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.

In the T20I domain, India and Afghanistan have met in five matches thus far. India has dominated these encounters, securing victories in four matches, while one ended without a decisive result. Afghanistan is yet to register a win against India in the T20 format.

There is speculation regarding the potential return of senior batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to T20 cricket, with an eye on the T20 World Cup in 2024. The experienced duo, absent from any T20I match for India since the T20 World Cup in 2022, is being considered for a comeback in the upcoming series.
