India vs Afghanistan 1st ODI Live Score: Shubman Gill won the toss and elected to bowl first. Harsh Dubey and Gurnoor Brar are making their debut for India. Due to the weather in Dharamsala, the first ODI between India and Afghanistan has been shortened to 25 overs per side. The rain has stopped, and all of the covers have been taken off the ground. The venue had already lost overs due to persistent rain. If there is no more rain, the action will begin 30 minutes after the toss. The players have begun to warm up.

As part of their preparations for the 2027 World Cup, Shubman Gill and his side will be keen to duplicate their recent one-off Test success against the Afghans in the ODIs. Veteran opener Rohit Sharma will be the main focus, while ace batter Virat Kohli is sidelined due to injury. In addition, all eyes will be on Dharamsala’s weather, with rain playing a big role.
