The Indian team is all geared up to lock horns with Afghanistan for the historic Test match on June 14 and the preparations for the game are pretty intense in both the camps. While Team India will be led by Ajinkya Rahane, the Afghans will be playing under the leadership of Asghar Stanikzai.

Despite the fact that, Team India is the no. 1 Test team, Afghanistan has warned the hosts that it will be difficult for them to face the spinners like Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Zardan. Stanikzai considers Rashid and Mujeeb better than their Indian counterparts. Replying to the same, the Indian batsman Karun Nair said, “We all have played Rashid in the IPL. I think Test matches are a totally different ball game.”
