    Cricket fans across Punjab and northern India can finally lock in their seats for the India vs Afghanistan Test Mullanpur showdown. The one-off Test runs from June 6 to June 10, 2026, at the gleaming Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh. This marks the venue’s first-ever Test match, and single tickets cover all five days of action.

    The search for India vs Afghanistan Test Mullanpur tickets leads straight to the official District by Zomato platform. Prices start at just ₹250, making it one of the most accessible big-ticket international fixtures in recent memory. Demand is already building fast with the match less than 24 hours away.

    Why This Match Feels Different

    You sense the buzz the moment you drive toward Mullanpur. The new stadium rises against the Punjab skyline like a statement of intent from the Punjab Cricket Association. Shubman Gill leads India in red-ball cricket for the first time in this cycle, and Afghanistan arrive ready to test themselves on a surface expected to offer balanced conditions.

    Local fans talk about it in tea stalls and office corridors. Families are planning day trips. College groups are pooling money for the cheaper stands. This is not just another international match. It is the first chapter of Test cricket at a venue built for exactly these moments.

    How to Buy India vs Afghanistan Test Mullanpur Tickets

    The only official channel is the District by Zomato app and website. Sales went live earlier this week and remain active as of June 5, 2026.

    Follow these steps:

    • Open the District app or visit district.in on your phone or computer.
    • Search for “India vs Afghanistan one-off Test” or the full event name.
    • Select the match from the results. A booking prompt or pop-up usually appears.
    • Tap “Book Tickets” and choose your preferred stand and number of seats.
    • Complete payment through the secure gateway. Digital tickets land directly in the app.

    Some users report a direct link format that jumps straight to the event page. Either way, the process takes under two minutes once you are inside the app. Have a valid government ID ready because stadium entry checks can be strict.

    Quick Tips Before You Book

    Book immediately if you want the cheapest seats. The ₹250 category moves quickest on big India matches. Arrive early on match days. Traffic around Mullanpur builds quickly once gates open. Carry a printed or digital copy of your ticket plus ID. The stadium offers good facilities, but the lower tiers fill with the loudest energy. Families often prefer the pavilion options for comfort and shade.

    Weather in early June stays warm during the day. Light layers and a cap help. The new stadium has solid sightlines from almost every seat, so even the budget tickets deliver a proper Test match experience.

    What Makes This Fixture Special

    India have not played a Test on home soil since their series against South Africa late last year. This Afghanistan contest serves as valuable preparation before tougher tours. For Mullanpur it is pure history. The Punjab Cricket Association has invested heavily in the facility, and hosting its maiden Test against a growing Afghanistan side feels like the right way to christen the ground.

    You will hear the stands come alive when the Indian openers walk out. You will see young fans experiencing their first live Test match. Those small moments turn a regular international fixture into something people remember for years.
