MATCH PREVIEW<\/b><\/p>\n

A one-off Test against Afghanistan, beginning at the New PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh on Saturday, will be an ideal reconvening point for India before it squabbles up for a late charge at the World Test Championship final.<\/p>\n

Left with a daunting path to the summit clash after the home series loss to South Africa, preparation for the upcoming must-win tours to Sri Lanka and New Zealand is already on the agenda.<\/p>\n

Nowhere does India need to clean house more than its feeble batting order. Despite playing in home conditions, India averaged a paltry 15.23 across the four innings in that series. Only two batters, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ravindra Jadeja, scored fifties in that series.<\/p>\n

But the early indicators in New Chandigarh suggest India is banking on continuity. Head coach Gautam Gambhir confirmed on match eve that India\u2019s under-fire No. 3 choice Sai Sudharsan will continue in the role. Handing the vice-captaincy to KL Rahul appears to be another move borne from the urge to give more chances to Rishabh Pant.<\/p>\n
