India's captain won the toss at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi and chose to bowl first in the second T20 International against Afghanistan. The decision reflects India's strategy for the match conditions expected at the venue.
The Indian team management made adjustments to the squad for the second match. Young batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi was once again left out of the playing XI, continuing his absence from the side. Additionally, all-rounder Varun Chakravarti was ruled out due to a side strain, prompting the inclusion of another player in the squad.
Afghanistan maintained consistency with their team composition, retaining the same XI that played in the first match of the series. The visiting side's unchanged approach suggests confidence in their squad selection and performance so far in the series.
