India 18-0 (5 ovs) vs Afghanistan | Scorecard

While Dhawan has got off the blocks quickly, Vijay is still looking for his first runs. Ahmadzai bowls one way down the leg side as Vijay is unable to get some bat on it and misses out on some easy runs.

After five straight dot balls, Vijay chases a wide one without any footwork and gets a thick inside edge which narrowly misses the stumps and goes for a boundary behind the stumps to get the Indian opener off the mark.

Wafadar gets one to bounce sharply as Dhawan somehow manages to avoid it. The fast bowler keeps moving the ball away from the left-hander who is happy to play out a maiden over.

Ahmadzai misses his radar as he bowls it down the leg side and Vijay misses the flick but still picks up four leg byes.

Vijay is happy to leave as much as possible outside the off-stump as he tries to see out the new ball.

India off to a steady start as they reach 18 for no loss in five overs with Dhawan on nine and Vijay on 14.
