India plays Afghanistan in the second T20I at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, with Varun Chakaravarthy not featuring in the XI. India captain Shreyas Iyer wins the toss and opts to field. India won the opening T20I by seven wickets and leads the three-match series 1-0.
Both outlets report that India makes one change to the playing XI: Ravi Bishnoi comes in for Chakaravarthy. Neither source provides a stated medical reason or further explanation for the omission beyond the selection change. The reports focus on the toss decision, the series context, and the confirmed lineup swap rather than the underlying cause.
Across the two sources, the match setting, result of the first game, series standing, toss outcome, and the replacement of Chakaravarthy by Bishnoi are the consistent points mentioned.
