Signing off - Shubman Gill receives the trophy and later joins his teammates. It is Gill's first ODI series win as India's captain. Attention now turns to a busy few months ahead. Before the much-anticipated tour of England, India will make a brief stop in Ireland for a two-match T20I series, with the first game scheduled for June 26. As for Afghanistan, they go into a break before returning to action in August. Their next assignment is a five-match ODI series in Ireland, which gets underway on August 5. For now, you can switch tabs and follow the action from the second Test between England and New Zealand, or tune in to the Women's T20 World Cup action. Until next time, it's goodbye from us. Cheers!

PLAYER OF THE SERIES - India's skipper, Shubman Gill takes home the award for scoring 238 runs in 2 innings. Gill credits Gurnoor Brar and Prasidh Krishna for setting the tone with an outstanding opening spell. Given the conditions, he had considered extending their spells by an over, but both bowlers were exhausted. Shubman is pleased that his side ticked most of the boxes they had identified before the series, particularly maintaining their intensity through the middle overs. Looking ahead to the England tour, he feels the conditions there will offer useful preparation for what the team could encounter in South Africa, even if they are not exactly the same.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Prasidh Krishna wins the award for a stellar showing with the ball. The pacer finished with outstanding figures of 5/23 in 8.2 overs, including two maidens, to set up India's comfortable win. Krishna says that the body feels good, and he's really happy for the team as well. Adds that they are trying to hit the lengths as a bowling unit, and it's the homework that's helping him hit his mark. Further mentions that when you have good bowlers alongside, you push each other to do better and learn plenty of things. On the five-wicket haul, he says that he did think about it when he was off the field, but he'd be happier with the win rather than a five-wicket haul.

The captain of Afghanistan - Hashmatullah Shahidi says the loss of early wickets in the first 10 overs put them under pressure from the outset. Adds that while they recovered well, they did not finish strongly with the bat, and the loss of wickets in quick succession at the end left them short of the total they were aiming for. On a personal note, Shahidi says it feels good to score a maiden ODI ton and hopes that he can continue to improve in the future. He praises the talent within the Afghanistan squad but acknowledges that beating India in their own conditions is always a difficult task.

Time for the presentation ceremony...

Let's hear from the centurion - Yashasvi Jaiswal says that he enjoyed the innings and just wanted to kick on after a fast start in the Powerplay. On his opportunities so far in this format, he says that he tries to control the controllables and works hard, and there's support from the coaching staff as well. On a positive start to his ODI career, he says that he's just trying to convert his starts into big scores and is very determined to keep his focus and make things count. On batting with Rohit Sharma, he says that he continues to ask Rohit about what to do and mentions that even today, when he was playing a few dot balls, Rohit helped him out.

A recovery undone - It was a topsy-turvy innings from Afghanistan after opting to bat first. They were reduced to 36/4 early on, with Prasidh Krishna doing all the damage, before Hashmatullah Shahidi led the rescue act. With Azmatullah Omarzai and Mohammad Nabi for company, the skipper helped drag his side back into the contest. At 198/5, the visitors would have fancied their chances of pushing well beyond 250, but a self-inflicted collapse saw those hopes evaporate, and they were bowled out for 218. Shahidi battled through cramps to bring up a gritty maiden ODI century, while for India, Prasidh Krishna was the standout performer with a maiden ODI five-wicket haul.

A chase in cruise control - Afghanistan sprayed it around with the ball and were untidy in the field as well, and the Indian opening pair made them merry. The back of the chase was broken in the first Powerplay itself. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma looked largely untroubled, rotating strike with ease and punishing anything loose as the home side steadily marched towards the target. Jaiswal went all the way to his second ODI hundred and, alongside Shreyas Iyer, saw the chase through.

Job done - A clinical chase from the Men in Blue as they completed a dominant 3-0 clean sweep over Afghanistan. It was a professional effort from Shubman Gill and his men across all three games, with India proving superior in every department. With white-ball cricket being Afghanistan's stronger suit compared to the Test arena, where they were outplayed, there was an expectation that they would push India much harder in this series, but it did not pan out that way.

Mohammad Nabi To Yashasvi Jaiswal

SIX! Yashasvi Jaiswal ends proceedings in style, and India win by 9 wickets, sweeping the series 3-0 as well. A floater from Nabi, on the pads, Jaiswal dances down the pitch, doesn't quite get to the pitch of the ball but goes through with the slog and gets it over deep mid-wicket for a six.

28.3

Mohammad Nabi To Yashasvi Jaiswal

FOUR! Sloppy fielding, and the scores are now level. On a nagging length, darted into middle and leg, Jaiswal gets low and brings out the broom. Plays it to short fine leg, where the fielder lets it through for a boundary.

28.2

Mohammad Nabi To Yashasvi Jaiswal

Flatter one, sliding on with the arm, Jaiswal rocks back and cuts it straight to point.

28.1

Mohammad Nabi To Yashasvi Jaiswal

SIX! What a way to bring up your 2nd ODI HUNDRED! Yashasvi Jaiswal gets to the milestone in style and leaps up in the air before taking off his helmet and soaking in all of the deserved applause. Tossed up, wide outside off, Jaiswal dances down the pitch and wallops it away over extra cover and all the way for a six.

Fareed Ahmad To Shreyas Iyer

SIX! BANG! Short-pitched delivery again, around chest height, Iyer goes back and across and nails the pull deep over the mid-wicket fence for another biggie. Just 11 more needed for the win now for India.

27.5

Fareed Ahmad To Shreyas Iyer

Not Out! A well-directed short ball, dug in over leg and around the front shoulder. Shreyas Iyer looks to pull but misses. Half an appeal for caught behind, Rahmanullah Gurbaz seems certain, but doesn't get much support from the bowler. The umpire turns it down, but Gurbaz convinces the skipper to go for the review. The replays roll in, and UltraEdge shows that the ball missed the bat and the gloves.

27.4

Fareed Ahmad To Shreyas Iyer

A skiddy short ball over middle, Iyer gets rushed on the pull and mistimes it over wide mid on for a couple of runs.

27.3

Fareed Ahmad To Shreyas Iyer

SIX! Shreyas Iyer decides to chance his arm now as well. Pitched-up delivery, angling across off, Iyer steps across and smacks it straight down the ground for a biggie. 200 up now for India.

27.2

Fareed Ahmad To Yashasvi Jaiswal

Good length on the pads, tucked away in front of square on the leg side for a single.

27.1

Fareed Ahmad To Yashasvi Jaiswal

FOUR! That's exquisite! Too full, angled into middle and leg, Yashasvi Jaiswal drills it dead straight, just past the stumps at the other end and the ball races away to the fence. Jaiswal is into the 90s now.

25.6

Fareed Ahmad To Yashasvi Jaiswal

In the air...but it falls short. Bowled on a length, on off. Jaiswal throws his hands at the ball. Slices it in the air off the outer half towards deep cover. Ziaur Rahman does not pick it up early as he runs around initially before charging in towards the ball. Rahman slides in front, but the ball gets to him on the bounce. Single taken.

25.5

Fareed Ahmad To Yashasvi Jaiswal

FOUR! Cheeky and effective! At the sticks, on a good length, on middle. Jaiswal walks across for the scoop with fine leg inside the circle. Jaiswal ends up playing it finer than he would have liked, but manages to evade Rahmanullah Gurbaz and it races away.

25.5

Fareed Ahmad To Shreyas Iyer

Two wides! Down leg, on a back of a length. Iyer gets inside the line and swings across but fails to lay any bat on it. Rahmanullah Gurbaz moves to his left but cannot gather it cleanly. The ball deflects away off his gloves and the batters cross.

25.4

Fareed Ahmad To Shreyas Iyer

Pushes the length up, on off. Iyer leans into the drive and the ball pings off his blade. The cover fielder gets low and makes a sharp stop.

25.3

Fareed Ahmad To Shreyas Iyer

From around the wicket now, pace taken off, on a good length. Iyer plays it on the up to cover.
