Jaiswal’s hundred and Prasidh’s five-for complete India’s 3-0 sweep of Afghanistan
India wrapped up the ODI series in Chennai with a nine-wicket win, riding Prasidh Krishna’s career-best five-for and an unbeaten Yashasvi Jaiswal century.

India finished their ODI series against Afghanistan exactly as they had run it, in total control. A nine-wicket win in the day-night third game at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday completed a 3-0 sweep, with Prasidh Krishna’s career-best five-wicket haul setting it up and an unbeaten hundred from Yashasvi Jaiswal finishing it.
Prasidh’s new-ball burst, then Shahidi’s lone stand
Afghanistan won the toss and batted, and inside the opening spell the decision looked a poor one. Prasidh tore through the top order with pace and bounce off the Chepauk surface, and the visitors slumped to 36 for 4 with the new ball still hard. Only their captain stood in the way after that.
Hashmatullah Shahidi dug in for a maiden ODI century, a patient 102 that held the innings together while partners came and went around him. It was the one piece of resistance Afghanistan offered all day. Prasidh returned to remove him, pulling to deep midwicket, to complete figures of five for 23, the best by any bowler in an ODI at the venue and the seamer’s first five-wicket haul in the format, earning him the player-of-the-match award. Gurnoor Brar and Prince Yadav shared the support as Afghanistan were bowled out for 218.
Rohit and Jaiswal stroll the chase
The reply removed any doubt inside the first hour. Rohit Sharma, the one senior batter still short of a score in the series, found his rhythm at the top and made 79, putting on 170 for the opening wicket with Jaiswal. He fell just short of a hundred, holing out to deep midwicket off Mohammad Nabi, but by then the game was long gone from Afghanistan.
Jaiswal simply carried on. Back in the ODI side after being left out following his last hundred in the format, he raced to his fifty and brought up his second ODI century with a pair of big hits off Nabi, staying unbeaten as India knocked the runs off with nine wickets in hand. It was only his sixth innings in the format, the fewest an India batter has taken to reach two ODI hundreds.
A clean sweep before a busy white-ball stretch
The result rounds off a tour India dominated from the Test through the one-dayers, and it sends Shubman Gill’s white-ball side into the next block of fixtures with momentum and runs in the bank. Afghanistan found a captain’s hundred but little else with the bat across the series, and the gap between the sides showed in every result.
For India the questions now turn to selection rather than form, with England next on a packed white-ball calendar. On this evidence, the openers have made those calls a good deal harder.
