IND vs AFG

Skipper Shubman Gill collects his first ever ODI trophy as the India captain as the BCCI president Mithum Manhas presents it to him, he looks pretty relaxed as he goes to his teammates. The young debutants Gurnoor Brar, Harsh Dubey and Prince Yadav get their hands on the trophy now as the entire team celebrates the win and poses for photographs behind the CHAMPIONS banner. India have pretty much achieved all they wanted from this series, in all the departments right from the youngsters coming in for the first time showcasing the depth to the seniors proving their worth which augurs well for the team moving forward. A big England white-ball series coming up in the next month but there is a brief 2-match T20 series in Ireland as well which starts on June 26 which is when Shreyas Iyer will start his journey as the Indian T20 captain.

It is time for us to sign off for now but there is a whole lot of cricket lined up for you. Switch tabs to follow all the action from around the world, from here this is Sourabh Agrawal taking your leave on behalf of everyone in the team here at SK. Cheers!

Shubman Gill, the Indian captain is the Player of the Series for his 238 runs in 2 innings. He says: The first spell bowled by Gurnoor and Prasidh was outstanding, to see them putting in that kind of effort. Looking at the temperatures, I did ask them for that one extra over but they were exhausted. A lot of them (boxes ticked). We spoke about keeping the intensity up in the middle overs, had a chat about creating opportunities with the ball and then pushing the rate as batters in the middle overs, we did that pretty well. (moving forward) Going to England, the conditons would be similar to South Africa. Not exactly similar but closer to the conditions that we will get in South Africa and we will go in with the kind of combintaion we want. Hopefully, everyone will be fit. It will be a good contest

Prasidh Krishna is the Player of the Match for his maiden ODI five-wicket haul, 5/23, this is what he had to say: (How is the body?) Icebaths are the only thing remaining, a bit of a break after the bowling innings. Good to see the way the batter batted, really happy for the team.

It is just about trying to hit the lengths, whatever we discuss as a team. Preperations are helping me, just sitting back and seeing how the games are going and what you want to do

Having good bowlers in the nets always helps, pushes the compeititon in the team which is always great. Thought about the 5 wickets but then I also had a thought that I had a long way to go. Even if I did not get a 5th wicket, I was happy as the team was winning

Hashmatullah Shahidi (Afghanistan captain): Today first 10 overs they bowled well but we lost wickets which put us under pressure. Me and Azmat had a good partnership but we did not finish well as we lost back-to-back wickets. (on his maiden century) After a long, after 95 games I got my first hundred and hopefully do it again and again. It was so hot, I was cramping but I am good now. We have talented guys but playing a side like India we will learn a lot of things. We were away from ODI cricket, we played last 8 months ago against Bangladesh. Will play against Ireland next, we have a new coach, we will try to come together as a team and look at where we were lacking

A chat with the centurion for India, Yashasvi Jaiswal: I really enjoyed it, I got some runs in the powerplay as well. I just focus on my process, what is in my control and try to work hard as much as I can. There is a lot of support from the support staff as well which is amazing, unreal communication. (converting 50s into hundreds) I have been lucky, just trying to convert if I get the start. In sports, specially in cricket, got to make it count if it is your day. I was trying a few things in the last few days which was not working but I was keen to make it count today. (partnership with Rohit Sharma) Rohit bhaiya is always helpful. I always ask him questions to get help. Today when I was playing dot balls, he just asked me to rotate the strike and keep the intent. I always enjoy playing with him, always amazing

7:55 PM local time and IST: MATCH SUMMARY

India (224/1 in 28.4 overs) beat Afghanistan (218 all-out in 44.2 overs) by 9 wickets

Yashasvi Jaiswal 110*(86) | Prasidh Krishna 5/23(8.2)
Hashmatullah Shahidi 102(131) | Mohammad Nabi 1/47(7.4)

An absolute no-contest, as it has been the case throughout the entirety of this first ever series between India and Afghanistan. India have been superior and by some margin, in some style and once again they have blown Afghanistan out of the water to complete a 3-0 thrashing despite missing key names

219 was never ever going to close enough against the might of this Indian batting and Afghanistan only got to that score courtesy off a maiden ODI hundred from the skipper Hashmattulah Shahidi as he fought his way through cramps losing partners all along the way. India completely opened up Afghanistan with the ball with a magical Prasidh Krishna spell with the new ball, he was 4/6 at one point inside the powerplay which is ridiculous and in the end ended up taking the final wicket of the innings finishing with a maiden ODI fifer

Both Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal were short of runs amongst all the Indian batters getting those tall scores. It was the turn of the two openers this time, Rohit Sharma missed out on a century for the taking but scored a positive 79. He took his time early on in the powerplay, gave himself the chance and even was given a life when he was just on 10 but then pulled out some vintage Rohit shots specially against Rashid Khan taking him down after he was dismissed by him in the previous match

From the other end, Yashasvi Jaiswal was in complete control and now Jaiswal has 2 centuries in his last 3 ODI innings giving a small little message to the selectors. He was clinical, dominant and made sure he was there right at the end hitting the winning runs finishing unbeaten on 110*

With pretty much all the other batter having had got healthy scores earlier in the series, Iyer was promoted to number 3 and finished unbeaten on 20* which is a small little tick again for India amongst all the others

In the end, this is India's fastest 200+ run chase for India in ODIs and the first ever ODI series win for skipper Shubman Gill

28.4 Mohammad Nabi to Yashasvi Jaiswal, GAME, SET, MATCH! India win by 9 wickets, complete a 3-0 clean sweep and their unbeaten run against Afghanistan continues. They get there in style as well, in the slot from Nabi at the stumps and Jaiswal brings out the big slog sweep to send the ball sailing over deep mid-wicket. The target of 219 chased down inside 29 overs, India win with as many as 128 balls to spare completing a massive demolition job

28.3 Mohammad Nabi to Yashasvi Jaiswal, MISFIELD! Jaiswal gets four more and the scores are level. Swept off the stumps straight to short fine who allows the ball to burst through his hands and gives away a boundary

28.1 Mohammad Nabi to Yashasvi Jaiswal, brings up his 100 with a maximum! Jaiswal gets a second ODI ton in his 6th match and he celebrates taking the helmet off and with his arms spread. Jumped down the track, took himself away from the line of the ball and hit it beautifully over covers all the way

27.6 Fareed Ahmad Malik to Shreyas Iyer, BANG! Sweet connection this time. One short ball too many, Iyer pounces on the short ball and smokes it over deep square leg

27.5 Fareed Ahmad Malik to Shreyas Iyer, APPEAL FOR CAUGHT BEHIND! Only the keeper was interested, the bowler was busy tying his shoelaces. In the end, Rahmat Shah takes a reluctant review. Was a short one, around leg and Iyer missed the pull shot

Once again no way near the bat or the glove, Afghanistan have burned both their reviews. 

27.4 Fareed Ahmad Malik to Shreyas Iyer, hurries him up with a short ball, Iyer mistimes the pull shot but manages to clear mid-on running back. Sprints back for two

27.3 Fareed Ahmad Malik to Shreyas Iyer, HIGH AND HANDSOME! Iyer gets going with a maximum. Pitched up again from Fareed, Iyer takes the aerial route and even though he did not get hold of it, got enough to clear the fence with mid-off and mid-on in the ring
