Gautam Gambhir's animated reaction to KL Rahul's stunning six highlighted India's dominant seven-wicket victory over Afghanistan in the first ODI. Captain Shubman Gill led the chase with an unbeaten 84, supported by Rahul's quickfire 39, as India comfortably chased down 195.

Debutants Gurnoor Brar and Harsh Dubey impressed with three wickets each, restricting Afghanistan to 194 despite Rahmanullah Gurbaz's century.
