After a long gap of limited-overs cricket and the IPL, Team India will return to Test cricket after nearly seven months. They will face Afghanistan in a one-off match at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh, from 6 June to 10 June. 

Moreover, this game is not part of the World Test Championship cycle, yet it still holds importance for India as the team will try out some young players and test new combinations.

Furthermore, India under Shubman Gill will play their first Test of 2026 and will look to start fresh at home. Meanwhile, Afghanistan will aim to challenge them in five-day cricket once again.

On the other hand, Afghanistan, led by Hashmatullah Shahidi, will meet India in Test cricket for only the second time. Their first encounter in 2018 was historic, as it marked Afghanistan’s debut in Test cricket. 

Therefore, this match also gives them a chance to show improvement and gain valuable experience against a strong side. Notably, Rashid Khan is not a part of the red-ball team.

As they take on each other, let's take a look at Mullanpur Stadium pitch report and Chandigarh weather report.

[Mullanpur Stadium Pitch Stats in First Class Cricket]

The Mullanpur Stadium pitch report for  IND Vs AFG Only Test gives a clear idea of how the surface is expected to behave, and first of all it is important to note that this will be the first Test match at this venue even though it has recently hosted IPL 2026 games.

Moreover, in those IPL matches the pitch looked very batting friendly, as batters were able to score freely, however Test cricket conditions can be quite different. 

In addition to that, first-class records show that out of 6 matches played here, 5 ended in draws and only one was won by the side batting first, which suggests that the surface can slow down over time. 

Meanwhile, the stadium is relatively new and because of grass covering there could be some early help for fast bowlers in terms of seam and bounce, but as per the IND vs AFG Pitch Report of Mullanpur Stadium for Only Test, the pitch is expected to become flatter on days 2 and 3, making batting easier. 

Furthermore, on days 4 and 5, spinners might come into play as the surface starts to break a little. 

Overall, the Mullanpur Stadium pitch report for IND Vs AFG Only Test indicates a balanced contest where early advantage may go to pacers, middle phase to batters, and later stages to spinners, so winning the toss and batting first could be a smart decision.
