The crowd has revived the rivalry between Virat Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq. Fans are chanting Kohli! Kohli! whenever Naveen is coming on strike. For those who don't get the reference, the two players were engaged in a heated argument during the IPL 2023. 

Kuldeep Yadav gets the crucial wickets of Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi, denying him a chance to reach to his hundred. He tried to go across but missed it and got trapped in front for 80.

Hardik Pandya has struck for India, breaking the 121-run partnership for the fourth wicket between Hashmatullah Shahidi and Azmatullah Omarzai. Pandya cleaned up Omarzai for 62 with a slower ball and celebrated the wicket with a massive roar.

Hashmatullah Shahidi and Azmatullah Omarzai's partnership is soaring as both the players have brought up their respective fifties. Afghanistan are inching closer to the 200-run mark now. 

As per the DDCA media manager, the official crowd figure so far at the Arun Jaitley Stadium for the IND vs AFG match is approx. 26,000.

Shardul Thakur takes a brilliant catch as Hardik Pandya dismisses Rahmanullah Gurbaz

Mohammed Siraj thinks he traps Ibrahim Zadran infront of the wicket but the review shows the ball misses the wicket.

Jasprit Bumrah will start the proceedings for India

India superstar Virat Kohli is here, entertaining fans with some delicious shots in a corner. He didn't turn up for the optional training on the eve of the match.

There's a generous amount of grass, indicating that IND vs AFG may witness a battle between batters and fast bowlers. 

The weather conditions in Delhi are set to be less humid with plenty of sunshine. According to AccuWeather, there is zero percent probability of rain and thunderstorms in Delhi today.

Ravindra Jadeja (98) is two scalps away from reaching the milestone of 100 wickets in ODIs at home. Jadeja was the pick of the Indian bowlers, claiming 3/28 against Australia in India's ICC Cricet World Cup 2023 opener in Chennai.

Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer's questionable shot selection against Australia contributed to India's disastrous start. They both would be wiser going into the Afghanistan game and hoping to get some runs and wipe the memories of that disastrous outing in Chennai.

India will take on Afghanistan in match no. 9 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Wednesday. You can watch the match on the star sports network and on Disney+Hotstar app.
