Team India lands in Delhi for World Cup clash against Afghanistan

NEW DELHI: The Indian cricket team landed in the national capital on Monday for its second World Cup clash against Afghanistan on October 11.

Rohit Sharma and co. won their tournament opener against Australia in Chennai on Sunday despite a horror start in 200 chase.

The team has travelled without its star opener Shubman Gill, who continues to recover from an illness under BCCI's medical supervision in Chennai.

Gill, who missed the game against Australia, will also not feature in the clash against Afghanistan.

Since Monday was a travel day for the team, no training session has been scheduled. The team will hit the nets at the Feroz Shah Kotla on Tuesday evening.

Afghanistan, who lost their tournament opener to Bangladesh in Dharamsala, are scheduled to train on Monday evening.
