India are listed as the “away” team for a three-match T20I series against Afghanistan in Delhi, even though the games are all held in the same city and venue. The underlying reason is tournament scheduling and designation rather than travel or geography.
Multiple outlets report that the Afghanistan Cricket Board hosts all three T20Is in Delhi. The remaining two matches are also scheduled at the same ground, meaning both teams play in effectively the same location. As a result, the “away” label applies for administrative purposes tied to the series fixture and team designation for each match.
Across the coverage, the explanation is consistent: Afghanistan’s board organizes the series in Delhi, and the venue remains the same throughout. The differing emphasis is limited to how each outlet describes the fixture arrangement, but they all point to host-led hosting and match-by-match scheduling as the cause of India being marked “away.”
