For Afghanistan, pacer Mohammad Saleem Safi finished with 6-140. The declaration came at 1:33pm local time, signalled by captain Shubman Gill after Sundar reached his fifty The all-rounder, often shuffled in the batting order, once again underlined his value with the bat by mixing patience with timely aggression. His fifty was marked by a wristy flick for four off Safi, after slamming a commanding pull for six. Indias lower order added quick runs before Gill called time. Debutant Manav Suthar struck two lusty sixes to push the total past 500, but his attacking cameo ended when he became Safis fifth victim. Mohammed Siraj was promoted ahead of Kuldeep Yadav and responded with a breezy 22 off 12 balls, including a six and three boundaries, before Safi cleaned him up. Kuldeep Yadav then joined Sundar and added nine runs before the declaration came. Safis spell was the highlight of Afghanistans effort. Having gone wicketless in his previous four international appearances, the pacer found rhythm and consistency with the second new ball, exploiting variable bounce and mixing lengths to trouble Indias batters. On a scorching Sunday in New Chandigarh, when India walked off after declaring their innings, Safi left the field with the match ball raised in acknowledgement of the sparse crowd. Indias innings was built on skipper Shubman Gills authoritative 126, KL Rahuls century, Sai Sudharsans 81 and Rishabh Pants 81 earlier in the day. But the lower-order contributions ensured the hosts had a healthy run-rate of 4.44 and also placed the innings among Indias fourth fastest 500-plus totals in Test history.

'It Couldve Been A Big Innings': Sudharsan Rues Missing Out On Big Score In One-off Test

New Chandigarh: Young India left-handed batter Sai Sudharsan said he was disappointed at missing out on a bigger score in the ongoing one-off Test against Afghanistan, but expressed happiness over having contributed to the teams score of 368/3 on day ones play. Batting at number three after India elected to bat first, Sudharsan scored 81, his third fifty in the format and had a second-wicket stand of 139 with centurion KL Rahul. I think, I was set, it could have been a big innings. Definitely disappointed, but really happy that I could contribute for the team and be a bit more certain there, Sudharsan said to broadcasters ahead of day twos play. Asked about the transition from T20 cricket to the longer format, Sudharsan explained, I mean, mentally, I think it's not a big difference for me, as I play the sport very similar, wherever I go and play, whether white ball or red ball. It's all about decision-making for me and just a few minor technical adjustments, which we had three, four days of time, which helped me to get back to red ball cricket and it was great. Sudharsan, known for his methodical preparation, said his process to bat in Tests is built on clarity and trust. Definitely, we had videos in place, so I worked on it. I looked what the bowlers can bowl and what they can come, what they can do against me. At the same time, I was very clear with what I wanted to do with the game plan and what I wanted to look at when I entered the game. It was more about me mentally being there and more about me mentally trusting myself or believing myself more. I think that kicked in a bit more, just came and it helped well.

One-off Test: 'I Consciously Tried Not To Restrict My Shots', Says KL Rahul As He Reflects On His Century

Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: India opener KL Rahul said he deliberately avoided curbing his natural strokeplay while making the transition from T20 cricket to the Test format, a mindset that helped him compile a patient century on the opening day of the one-off Test against Afghanistan. Rahul's 100, along with captain Shubman Gill's unbeaten 103 and Sai Sudharsan's 81, powered India to a commanding 368/3 at stumps on Day 1 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium. Reflecting on the challenge of moving from months of T20 cricket straight into the longest format, Rahul admitted that overthinking can often become a trap for batters. Sometimes you sit and overanalyse and try to play completely differently to T20 cricket. Something that I consciously tried was not to restrict my shots, but also be aware of what kind of shots I can play on this wicket against what kind of bowlers, Rahul said after the day's play. The right-hander revealed that maintaining a balance between attacking instincts and Test-match discipline was central to his preparation. That's something that I thought about in the last week leading up to this Test match. That's what I tried to do. In the morning, I think I did play a few shots more than what I would have played ideally, but it didn't make me frustrated or angry at myself. Rahul said he was keen to continue backing his strengths rather than become overly cautious simply because he was playing red-ball cricket. I was okay with playing shots and playing to the merit of the ball. That's what I was trying to do more, he added. The opener also expressed satisfaction at how quickly he was able to adjust from the fast-paced nature of the IPL to the patience required in Test cricket. I'm really happy that I could get some time in the middle and make that switch from T20 to Test cricket in a couple of days. That was the most pleasing thing. Rahul credited India's preparation in New Chandigarh for helping him understand the nature of the surface before the match. It wasn't coming on at all. It was a really slow and low sort of wicket, which we did expect. We had a few days of training here, and it was pretty similar to this. I had to get used to spending time in the middle and letting the ball come to you. Rahul credited India's preparation in New Chandigarh for helping him understand the nature of the surface before the match.

New Chandigarh: Afghanistan wicketkeeper-batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz expressed that playing against India in the upcoming one-off Test is a long-held dream coming true as he described the chance to participate in red-ball cricket in India as a special milestone in his career. Watching Afghanistan's early steps in Test cricket from a distance, Gurbaz acknowledged that this moment has deep personal importance as his team strives to make its mark in the longest format.

While Afghanistan have made significant strides in white-ball cricket, Gurbaz acknowledged that Test cricket remains a learning process for a side still building experience in the format. He stressed that the team has embraced the challenge and is determined to compete despite its relative inexperience. It's a learning for us. We are not that well experienced in Test cricket, which I think in Test cricket, you really need experience and test experience, actually.

And yeah, it's a new challenge for me, but as a cricketer, I don't need to make excuses and I'm well prepared to play a good cricket, Gurbaz noted. It's a learning for us.

Shubman Gill Wins Toss, India Opt to Bat Against Afghanistan as Manav Suthar Makes Test Debut

India skipper Shubman Gill won the toss and elected to bat first against Afghanistan in their one-off cricket Test in New Chandigarh on Saturday. Left-arm spinner Manav Suthar made his India debut on a hot and humid day, with the pitch expected to get slower and lower as the match progresses at India's newest Test venue. India, ranked third in world Test rankings, would be looking to bounce back after suffering a 2-0 defeat to South Africa at home in November in their most recent Test outing. The match is not part of the World Test Championship cycle, but a key game for Afghanistan who played their debut five-day game in India in 2018. Since then, Afghanistan, led by Hashmatullah Shahidi, have played 12 Tests and won four. The Afghans handed a Test debut to left-arm spinner Nangeyalia Kharote and went in with three seamers and two spinners.
