  "summary": "The Economic Times reports that Vande Mataram, India's national song, was sung for the first time at an international cricket match prior to India's T20I match against Afghanistan in New Delhi. This marked a significant moment in the sport, as the song was sung just before the teams began their T20I series. India's captain, Shreyas Iyer, won the toss and opted to bowl first, with Jasprit Bumrah returning to the squad after an injury-related absence. The Indian team featured experienced players such as Sanju Samson and Bumrah, while Afghanistan's lineup included Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi.",
