The wicket fell on the ultimate delivery of the twelfth over.
Mohammad Saleem Safi delivered a 132.9 kph short-of-a-length ball drifting down the leg side. The left-handed opener tried to glance it effective but could only get a faint edge through to wicketkeeper Afsar Zazai, who safely accomplished the catch behind the stumps. Watch the dismissal clip below:

Sai Sudharsan Comes In At No. 3 Following Yashasvi Jaiswal’s Dismissal
Shubman Gill won the toss and elected to bat first for India national cricket team. The Afghanistan national cricket team bowlers kept things tight early on, with Yashasvi Jaiswal getting a lifeline on 11 within the sixth over, while KL Rahul struggled to time the ball properly.
On the opening delivery of the eleventh over, Ziaur Rahman Sharifi bowled a length ball outside off stump, and Rahul attempted a cut shot. Although there was a noise because the ball passed the bat, the visitors selected to not review. UltraEdge later showed a spike, handing the India opener a reprieve on 16.
Afghanistan eventually struck through Mohammad Saleem Safi, who removed Jaiswal for twenty-four to interrupt the 41-run opening partnership. Sai Sudharsan then arrived at No. 3 because the visitors continued to keep up disciplined bowling lines.
On the time of writing, India were placed at 46/1 after 15 overs, with KL Rahul batting on 17 and Sai Sudharsan unbeaten on 4. The continuing fixture is just the second Test clash between India and Afghanistan national cricket team. Their previous meeting got here in 2018 in Bengaluru, where India registered a large innings-and-262-run victory.
