India hammered Afghanistan by nine wickets in the third ODI at Chepauk on Saturday (June 20), thereby completing a clean sweep of the series.

Riding on Prasidh Krishna’s maiden five-wicket haul, India bowled out Afghanistan for 218 in 44.2 overs. The lanky pacer took each of the first four wickets, reducing the visitors to 36/4.

Afghanistan fought back, thanks to Hashmatullah Shahidi’s first ODI hundred (102) and Azmatullah Omarzai’s half-century (50).

In reply, the hosts overhauled a modest 219-run target with 128 deliveries to spare. Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed an unbeaten century (110* off 86) and added 170 runs for the opening wicket with Rohit Sharma (79 off 69) to make the chase a mere formality.

After Rohit’s dismissal, Jaiswal along with Shreyas Iyer (20*) ensured India get over the line without any more hiccups.

This marked Iyer's first win as India’s ODI vice-captain, and he celebrated the moment with a low-five with Gautam Gambhir, which left the head coach with a smile.

Earlier this month, Shreyas Iyer replaced Suryakumar Yadav as India’s T20I skipper. He will begin his T20I captaincy stint with a two-match series against Ireland, slated to begin on June 26 in Belfast.
