India defeats Afghanistan in rain-affected ODI

June 13, 2026

India secured a seven-wicket victory over Afghanistan in a rain-truncated ODI at HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala on June 13, 2026. Shubman Gill remained unbeaten on 84 as the hosts chased down 195 in 25 overs per side.

Persistent rain delayed the start by more than four hours, reducing the match to 25 overs per side. Afghanistan posted 194 thanks to Rahmanullah Gurbaz's 102 off 51 balls, but collapsed after his dismissal.

India chased the target with ease. Gill struck an unbeaten 84 off 66 balls with 11 fours and two sixes, forming a 70-run stand with Ishan Kishan. KL Rahul finished unbeaten on 39.

Shubman Gill stated that Rohit Sharma was fine following a run-out mix-up during the innings. The episode did not lead to any outburst, unlike a previous incident.

What people are saying

Initial reactions on X focus on India's 7-wicket win in the rain-truncated ODI. Users highlight Shubman Gill's unbeaten 84 as a captain's knock and praise debutants Gurnoor Brar and Harsh Dubey. Some note Gill's record for fastest 3000 ODI runs while acknowledging Afghanistan's Gurbaz century went in vain. Sentiments are largely positive with neutral factual reports.
