India Sweep Afghanistan 3-0: Jaiswal's 110 and Krishna's Five-For Star in Chennai
Times of India·Sunday, 21 June 2026
India completed a 3-0 ODI series sweep over Afghanistan in Chennai, with Yashasvi Jaiswal scoring an unbeaten 110 and Rohit Sharma adding 79 to chase down 219 in just 28.4 overs. Earlier, Prasidh Krishna took a career-best 5/23 to restrict Afghanistan to 218, despite a maiden ODI century from captain Hashmatullah Shahidi. Shubman Gill, as captain, finished as the series' highest run-scorer with 238 runs.
Why It Matters
This is Gill's first ODI series win as India captain, and Jaiswal's form is raising real questions about the batting order ahead of the England tour — including Rohit Sharma's place.
