India secured a 3-0 whitewash in the three-match ODI series with a comprehensive nine-wicket win over Afghanistan in the final match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai today, as Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed an unbeaten century.

Chasing a modest 219-run target, India raced to victory in just 28.4 overs, losing one wicket. Jaiswal slammed an unbeaten 110 off 86 balls, while Rohit scored 79 off 69 deliveries.

Earlier, pacer Prasidh Krishna ripped through Afghanistan’s top order, claiming four early wickets to finish with outstanding figures of 5-23 as the visitors were bowled out for 218 in 44.2 overs.

However, despite Krishna’s destructive spell, Afghanistan skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi stood firm with his maiden ODI century. The hosts have already secured the series with a 2-0 lead.
