2st T20I: Weather update from Indore ahead of India vs Afghanistan clash

Team India are all set to face Afghanistan for the second T20I game, which is slated to take place on January 14 at the iconic Holkar Cricket Stadium in the city of Indore. Notably, the Men in Blue are already ahead by 1-0 as they registered a great win in the first T20I game in Mohali, and now they will be hoping to win the second T20I game to seal the series gains for visiting sides.

Notably, the ongoing three-match series is the last and final preparation for the T20 World Cup 2024, which is set to start on June 1 in the West Indies and the USA. The Men in Blue are seeking their first win in major tournaments since the 2013 Champions Trophy. However, Rohit Sharma and Co. suffered a 10-wicket loss in the T20 World Cup 2022 against England in the semi-final clash, and at this time, they hope to win the title.

The ongoing series has marked the inclusion of experienced batters like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Sanju Samson to boost their preparation for the 2024 T20 World Cup. However, the Men in Blue have few setbacks, as Hardik Pandya, Mohammed Shami, Suryakumar Yadav, and Ruturaj Gaikwad have yet to make their comebacks after their injuries.
