Punjab’s Mullanpur set to host first-ever Test match:Shubman Gill to lead against Afghanistan in 4th red-ball assignment; ticket prices from ₹250

Although the IPL matches have ended, the excitement of cricket remains. From 6 June, the one-off Test match between India and Afghanistan will be played in New Chandigarh. Both teams have reached Chandigarh and practice is ongoing. Ticket prices for this start from ₹250. This historic encounter is being considered quite important for Punjab and the country. Earlier, Indian team’s head coach Gautam Gambhir reached Nada Sahib to bow his head and seek blessings. It should be noted that this match is special for two reasons. First, a Test match will be played for the first time at the stadium built in Mullanpur. In such a situation, PCA does not want to leave any stone unturned in hosting it. Second, the city’s young player, Shubman Gill will captain Team India. Meanwhile, this match will also be special for Gurnoor Singh. Shubman had also performed brilliantly in the IPL recently. Long discussion between pitch curator and Gambhir The only Test match between India and Afghanistan was played earlier in 2018, which India won. At that time, the team was led by Ajinkya Rahane. Head coach Gautam Gambhir has also reached Chandigarh. He has had a long discussion with the pitch curator. A major reason for this is Afghanistan’s strong spin attack. The Afghan team has several excellent spinners. Meanwhile, the Indian team appears a bit weak in this department. Ravichandran Ashwin has retired, while Ravindra Jadeja is not part of the team. Axar Patel has also not been given a place in the team. However, Kuldeep Yadav and Washington Sundar are included in the team. Harsh Dubey has been given a chance in the Indian team for the first time. Keep these 3 things related to the match in mind:- See PHOTOS related to the match:-
