Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi won the toss and opted to bowl first against India in IND vs AFG 2nd ODI 2026 at the Ekana International Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Trailing 1-0 in the three-match series, the visitors aim to exploit early bowling conditions on a characteristically slow surface. Both teams have made several changes, some forced while others are tactical. India have handed Prince Yadav his debut cap, while Nitish Kumar Reddy misses out due to niggle. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Kuldeep Yadav are in the XI. Afghanistan are playing Darwish Rasooli, Bilal Sami, and Nangeyalia Kharoti.
