6, 0, 0, 4, 6 - Yashasvi Jaiswal slams his ton and then finishes the game quite comfortably for India. He hits Mohammad Nabi for a maximum to score his second ODI century before smashing the spinner for two more boundaries. INDIA CLEAN SWEEP AFGHANISTAN IN THE THREE-MATCH ODI SERIES.

Shreyas Iyer slams two sixes in the over of Fareed Ahmad Malik!

IND 208-1 (28)

That is a terrific shot from Yashasvi Jaiswal for a four! He drives it down the ground powerfully. With that shot, the southpaw moves to 93 off 81 balls. He should get a hundred today.

IND 193-1 (27.1)

India need 42 runs to win off the remaining 25 overs. Mere formality remains in this game. However, the Indian cricket fans must be praying for Yashasvi Jaiswal's century. The southpaw is unbeaten on 81 off 75 balls.

IND 177-1 (25)

Rohit Sharma is OUT! The first wicket comes too late for Afghanistan, but it will still hurt the Indian fans as Rohit misses out on a century. The fans in the stands cannot believe their eyes as the veteran batter pulls the ball into the hands of the fielder in the deep.

Rohit Sharma c (sub)Sediqullah Atal b Mohammad Nabi 79(69) [4s-9 6s-3]  

IND 170-1 (22.5)

Rohit Sharma slams Rashid Khan for a four and a six. He moves to 78 off just 66 balls by the end of the over. The veteran batter is now two runs ahead of Yashasvi Jaiswal.

IND 167-0 (22)

Yashasvi Jaisal jumps down the track and drives the Mohammad Nabi delivery to the long-off for a single. With that, India have 150 runs on the board. They need 69 more to win with as many as 178 balls remaining.  

IND 150-0 (20.2)

Yashasvi Jaiswal is dealing in boundaries! The left-hander cuts it through third-man for another boundary. Couple of balls later, Rohit plays it towards fine-leg, Jaiswal charges up for a quick single but he's sent back. Jaiswal was already halfway down the pitch when the throw came in, but he manages to get back to his crease on time.

IND 139/0 (18)

Yashasvi Jaiswal has been absolutely incredible through the off-side today. Another lovely-timed late cut for 4, and then 4 more, creamed through extra cover by the southpaw. He is up to 67 now. Can he get to a second ODI century?

IND 132/0 (17)

Rohit Sharma goes for a front foot defence but the ball from Rashid Khan skids past the bat and is caught by the keeper. Big appeal from Afghanistan but the umpire turns it down. Rashid goes for a DRS review, but UltraEdge shows no spike. 

IND 123/0 (16)

Another sweep, another 4! Half-century for Rohit Sharma! He gets to the milestone in 47 balls. Speculation rife over his India future, fitness and form under the scanner, but Rohit has responded with a fifty. He escaped a couple of scares early on, and has fully entered his groove now.

IND 121/0 (15.2)

Superb timing from Rohit Sharma! A lovely shot through mid-wicket for 4, and then a fantastic sweep shot for 6 over deep square-leg! Pure class from the 39-year-old. After the maximum, Rohit and Rashid share a heartwarming moment and a small chat, with both players smiling.

IND 113/0 (14)

The 100-run mark comes up for Team India as Yashasvi Jaiswal puts away a full toss for 4 through mid-wicket. India are going at nearly 8 runs per over, and have nearly completed half the run chase.

IND 101/4 (13)

Half-century for Yashasvi Jaiswal! He gets to the feat in just 38 balls. It has been a lovely knock from the left-hander, who set the tempo of the run chase with three boundaries in his very first over.

IND 94/0 (12)

Yashasvi Jaiswal continues the flow of runs. He aces yet another square-cut and slams it for 4. He is up to 46* off 32 balls, as 10 overs are completed. Rohit also going decently well on 27 at the other end.

IND 86/0 (10)

Rohit Sharma now accelerates! Short and pitched on the leg-stump, Rohit rocks back and pulls it in classic fashion over deep fine-leg. The very next ball, Rohit thrashes it over cover for 4 more. After being given a couple of reprieves, Rohit is now cashing in.

IND 75/0 (8)

Yashasvi Jaiswal is on a roll! First a flick for 4, then a short ball pulled firmly for 6 over deep square-leg, and then another thick edge goes away for 4 more through third-man. Jaiswal has raced to 36 off just 21 balls. The 50-run mark has come up for India,

IND 62/0 (7)

Rohit Sharma should've been gone, but he's been handed another lifeline. Rohit hits it straight to the fielder at third-man, but the fielder moves away from the ball at the very last moment. He is absolutely furious, seems like he was distracted by the floodlights. 

IND 46/0 (6)

Another boundary for Yashasvi Jaiswal! The left-hander is off to a really good start. Slammed through the third-man region by the opener once again. He is on 20 off 15 after the first five overs.

IND 42/0 (5)

Rohit Sharma receives a short ball from Fareed Ahmad, looks to pull but ends up getting a top edge. The ball goes high into the air, wicket-keeper Rahmanullah Gurbaz gives chase, but the ball lands safely. And then the ball ricochets off a charging Gurbaz and goes to the boundary! Drama upon drama!

Next ball, Rohit punches a graceful cover drive for 4 more, rubbing more salt on the wound.

IND 34/0 (3)

A much better second over from Afghanistan, with Zia Ur Rahman keeping things relatively tighter and not allowing Rohit to free his arms early on. After four dot balls, Rohit gets off the mark with a single on the fifth ball. There's a misfield on the final ball, and Jaiswal and Rohit run two more.

IND 26/0 (2)

A very wayward first over for Afghanistan. Yashasvi Jaiswal has already slammed three boundaries, including two brilliant square-cuts for 4. Adding insult to injury, Azmatullah Omarzai bowled two no-balls. Plus the five penalty runs. India are up to 23!

IND 23/0 (1)

India's chase begins at 5/0. This is because the umpires have handed Afghanistan a five-run penalty. Shahidi was penalised for running on the danger area, even after a couple of warnings. 

India have been set a fairly gettable target of 219, and the onus is on Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal to provide a good start. Consistency has eluded the duo, but their performances today will be under the scanner as the BCCI is yet to announce the ODI squad for the upcoming series against England. In particular, Rohit will be in focus, amid speculation over his spot in BCCI's plans for India's 2027 World Cup squad.

A day of firsts. After Shahidi slams his first ODI hundred, Prasidh Krishna has taken his first ODI five-wicket haul. He was absolutely incredible in the powerplay, picking up the first four wickets. And then he returned later to pick up the final wicket of the Afghanistan innings to complete his fifer.

8.2 overs, two maidens, 23 runs conceded, five wickets. Sensational stuff.

Afghanistan ALL OUT! Five wickets for Prasidh Krishna! Shahidi slams one hard but straight to Shreyas Iyer at deep mid-wicket. The Afghanistan innings comes to an end in 44.2 overs. 218 is the score on the board. Hashmatullah Shahidi falls for 102.

It's Prasidh Krishna's first ODI five-wicket haul!

AFG 218 all out (44.2 overs)
IND Target: 219

Hashmatullah Shahidi becomes the first Afghanistan player to score an ODI century as captain of the country against India. A big record for the 31-year-old, and against a formidable opponent like India no less.

CENTURY for Hashmatullah Shahidi! The Afghanistan skipper cuts it away for 4 and gets to his first ODI hundred, off 128 balls. A brilliant, patient, classy knock from the left-hander. A lovely moment as Chepauk stands to applaud Shahidi's effort.

AFG 217/9 (44)

Shahidi moves up to 95! Thick edge flies over wicket-keeper Ishan Kishan, as Prasidh Krishna comes back to bowl. Just one wicket remains, can Shahidi get to his century before the Afghanistan innings concludes? Remember, it will be his maiden ODI ton.

Shahidi takes a single on the fifth ball of the over, and then Zia Ur Rahman is able to block a yorker on the final delivery.

AFG 211/9 (43)

Shubman Gill, terrific once again! A mess-up again as Shahidi tries to take another quick single. Shubman Gill charges in once again and throws it back to Ishan Kishan, who completes the run out. Non-striker Fareed Ahmad is well short of his crease. Two run outs in two balls inflicted by the Indian captain!

AFG 206/9 (41.1)

GONE! Two wickets in one over for Team India! Shahidi nudges it towards square-leg and tries to take a single, but non-striker Allah Ghazanfar is slow to respond. Shubman Gill charges in and throws it back to Ishan Kishan, and the run out is completed before Ghazanfar can get to his crease. 

AFG 206/8 (41)

GONE! Harsh Dubey strikes! Rashid Khan looks to go big inside-out, but doesn't get the connection. Prince Yadav runs in from deep extra cover and takes an excellent diving catch. First wicket of the game for Harsh Dubey. Seventh wicket down for Afghanistan.

AFG 206/7 (40.3)

40 overs are up. 10 to go in the Afghanistan innings. They're just past the 200-run mark, and will hope to put up at least 250 from here. Shahidi is on 91* off 115 balls, and 9 runs away from his first ODI century.

AFG 204/6 (40)

Looks like Hashmatullah Shahidi is suffering from some problem. He has been out in the middle for more than two hours. Afghanistan's medical staff comes out to treat him. Looks like they're massaging his arms. Shahidi is just 11 away from his maiden ODI hundred, so he'll hope that these problems don't persist.

AFG 201/6 (38)

Rashid Khan is in to bat at No. 8, and he gets off the mark first ball with a couple of runs. That brings up the 200-run mark for Afghanistan. A great comeback, given they were 36/4 at one stage. Now, the focus turns to Shahidi, who is 11 short of a hundred.

AFG 200/6 (37.2)

OUT! Lovely delivery from Gurnoor Brar to pick up his first wicket of the day. The ball deceives Mohammad Nabi by staying low, and knocks over the stumps. Beaten by pace and length. And Gurnoor is absolutely pumped up! Nabi had gotten off to a good start, but his cameo ends at 21.

AFG 198/6 (37.1)

Lovely square-cut from Hashmatullah Shahidi for another boundary. Gurnoor Brar comes back into the attack, but it just hasn't been his day so far. Shahidi up to 88, and now just 12 runs away from a first ODI century.

AFG 191/5 (36)

First boundary conceded by Prasidh Krishna! Afghanistan continue to play the short stuff intelligently. Shahidi lets the ball come to him and then gently upper cuts it through the third-man region for 4. Shahidi up to 79 now.

AFG 178/5 (34)

Nitish Reddy comes into the attack and Afghanistan go after him! A lovely cover drive for 4 by Shahidi early in the over, and then Mohammad Nabi pulls a short delivery over deep fine-leg for 6. That's the first big hit for Nabi. Meanwhile, Shahidi is into the 70s now.

AFG 170/5 (33)

Prasidh continues to impress. Just 3 runs off his sixth over. His figures now read a mind-boggling 6-2-9-4. Two wicket-maidens, economy-rate 1.50! His variances and awkward bounce has really limited the Afghanistan batting lineup today.

AFG 159/5 (32)

150 up for Afghanistan as Shahidi slams another boundary. Dug in short by Prince, and pulled away for 4 by the Afghanistan captain. He moves into the 60s with that shot. The left-hander will be hoping to go deep and convert this to a hundred.

And he slams another boundary on the final ball of the 31st over!

AFG 156/5 (31)

30 overs are done in the Afghanistan innings. Washington Sundar bowls the 30th, and it's an economical one, with just 2 runs coming off it. Given where they were at one point, Afghanistan will surely be happy with the comeback.

AFG 145/5 (30)

GONE! Prince Yadav delivers a short ball at Omarzai, which the Afghanistan star tries to hook over fine-leg. However, Omarzai doesn't get the timing on it, and it goes straight to Prasidh Krishna at deep fine-leg. Bit of a misjudgment from Prasidh, but ultimately takes the catch very close to the ground.

The umpires have a check and confirm it to be a clean catch. Four wickets and now a catch for Prasidh. First wicket for Prince. Omarzai departs for 50.

AFG 141/5 (28.2)

Half-century for Azmatullah Omarzai! Top knock by the Afghanistan star, who continues to establish himself as one of the best white-ball all-rounders in the world. He has been the aggressor in this partnership, slamming five boundaries and two sixes. He gets to the feat in 55 balls.

AFG 140/4 (28)

The century stand comes up between Hashmatullah Shahidi and Azmatullah Omarzai. This has been a brilliant fightback by Afghanistan, after they were reeling at 36/4 early on. Omarzai on the verge of completing his fifty now, he is on 49.

AFG 137/4 (27)

Half-century for Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi. He reaches the milestone in 64 balls. A very patient and solid knock from the skipper, after walking in to bat at a troublesome situation.

AFG 133/4 (26)

Azmatullah Omarzai slams Washington Sundar for a six on the first ball of the over. The spinner bowls a good-length delivery on off and Omarzai hits it over long-off for a maximum. By the end of the over, he moves to 44 off 46.

AFG 118-4 (24)

Hashmatullah Shahidi and Azmatullah Omarzai are fighting back for Afghanistan with a solid partnership for the fifth wicket. Both the players are batting on 36 each.

AFG 108-4 (22)

Hashmatullah Shahidi hits Nitish Reddy's delivery on the leg side for a single. With it, Afghanistan have 100 runs on the board. They were struggling at 36 for 4 at one stage, but Shahidi and Azmatullah Omarzai have brought the side back into the game with an unbeaten stand of 64 runs off 60 balls.

AFG 100-4 (19.2)

Hashmatullah Shahidi and Azmatullah Omarzai are in the rescue act for Afghanistan. They have added 47 runs off 46 balls so far for the fifth wicket. Harsh Dubey and Nitish Reddy have started bowling in tandem for India.

AFG 83-4 (17)

Prince Yadav continues and bowls his fourth over. He concedes seven runs it. The pacer gets hit for a four on fifth ball. Hashmatullah Shahidi pulls the ball through backward square leg for the boundary.

AFG 69-4 (15)

Rohit Sharma takes three catches off Prasidh Krishna's bowling today. This makes him the third India fielder to grab three catches off a bowler in an ODI.

VVS Laxman did it first on the bowling of Irfan Pathan against Zimbabwe in Perth in 2004. Shikhar Dhawan repeated the feat with pacer Jasprit Bumrah against Bangladesh in Dubai in 2018.

AFG 62-4 (14)

A short ball from Prince Yadav and Azmatullah Omarzai pulls it well for a four. He keeps the ball down while executing the shot through the left of the deep square leg. With that shot, Afghanistan cross the 50-run mark.

AFG 52-4 (12.4)

Prasidh Krishna misses an opportunity to bowl another wicket-maiden as he oversteps on the final delivery. He, however, manages to bowl a dot ball on the free hit. That ends the first Powerplay, with India completely dominating the phase.

AFG 37-4 (10)

OUT! Prasidh Krishna strikes again! He has made life completely tough for the Afghanistan batters. He dismisses Darwish Rasooli this time. The batter ends up hitting the ball in the air, and Shreyas Iyer runs to his left from mid-off to complete the catch. Afghanistan batters are failing to cope with the extra bounce from Krishna.

Darwish Rasooli c Shreyas Iyer b Prasidh Krishna 1(5)

AFG 36-4 (9.2)

Prince Yadav gets an over, replacing Gurnoor Brar, who remains economical but wicketless. Prince concedes seven runs in his first one as Hashmatullah Shahidi gets a four on the finall ball of the over. 

AFG 36-3 (9)

7.2 - OUT! Third wicket for Prasidh Krishna! Yet another outside edge, yet another catch taken by Rohit Sharma at first slip. Ibrahim Zadran gets an outside edge on the good-length ball while going for a drive and Rohit completes the formalities by taking the catch quite comfortably this time.

OUT! Second wicket for Prasidh Krishna! He manages to produce an outside edge from the bat of Rahmat Shah, and Rohit Sharma takes the catch at slip. The fielder nearly misses it but manages to hold the ball in his body.

Rahmat Shah c Rohit Sharma b Prasidh Krishna 5(15) [4s-1]

AFG 26-2 (6)

Gurnoor Brar bowls a terrific over and controls the flow of runs. He conceded just two runs as batters Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmat Shah are looking cautious against Gurnoor. Afghanistan, who have lost one wicket, are eager to get some boundaries and gain the momentum in the upcoming overs. 

AFG 11/1 (3 overs)

FOUR!!! Rahmat Shah hits a brilliant boundary on Prasidh Krishna's delivery. It's drifting down the leg side, Rahmat misses his glance as the ball comes off the pad and races away to fine leg. Afghanistan need a solid partnership after losing Gurbaz's wicket early. 

AFG 9/1 (2 overs)

OUT!!! Prasidh Krishna strikes early for India and provides them with the wicket of Rahmanullah Gurbaz for five. Krishna focuses on the length and completely traps his style. The ball hits the thick edge of the bat and Rohit Sharma then grabs an excellent catch at the first slip. First wicket gone for Afghanistan.

AFG 5/1 (1.1 overs)

Gurnoor Brar bowls an excellent first over. However, Afghanistan still get four runs through bye. In total, Brar conceded five runs in the first over. Openers Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz are showing a cautious approach and not taking any risks right now. 

AFG 5/0 (1 over)

The 3rd ODI between India and Afghanistan finally begins. For Afghanistan, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran have opened the proceedings. The duo will be eager to form a solid opening partnership. On the other hand, Gurnoor Brar will be bowling the first over of the day for India. Let's play!!! 

Afghanistan (Playing XI): Rahmanullah Gurbaz(w), Ibrahim Zadran, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi(c), Darwish Rasooli, Mohammad Nabi, Azmatullah Omarzai, Rashid Khan, AM Ghazanfar, Zia Ur Rahman Sharifi, Fareed Ahmad Malik.

India (Playing XI): Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill(c), Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan(w), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Harsh Dubey, Gurnoor Brar, Prasidh Krishna, Prince Yadav

"Looks like a very good wicket. Would've batted first as well. Was pretty hot in the last match and it's going to be no different here. It's about being consistent in the areas we're looking at. We'll be chasing in this match, and chasing big scores consistently and comfortably is one area where we haven't quite ticked the box yet. That's what we'll be looking at today. Three changes. Prasidh, Harsh and Nitish Reddy are back," said India skipper Shubman Gill. 

"We want to bat first today. It's always hot in India in this month. Wicket also looks good. It's dry and hard. Hopefully we have a good start in the batting. In last two games we missed some areas and didn't play the way we have played in the past. Hopefully we recover today and have good partnerships and bowl in the right areas. Four changes. Nabi is back, Azmat is playing. (Reads from his palm) Zia ur Rahman and Fareed Malik are in," said Afghanistan skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi. 

Afghanistan skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi wins the toss, opts to bat against India in the third and final ODI of the three-match series on Saturday in Chennai. 

"Warm and humid afternoon. One saving grace, the breeze. Both teams would want to bat first and put runs on the board. Nice grass coverage. Maybe a little dry underneath so maybe some change of pace for the quicks and some spin. But mostly good conditions for batting," reckon Deep Dasgupta and Michael Clarke.

India pacer Harshit Rana said that he was relieved to be back in the national setup after spending five months on the sidelines with a knee injury, admitting the prolonged absence from cricket was the toughest phase of his career. "For me, especially, it was very difficult. Because as a kid, my dream was to play in the World Cup. And India had won, so I missed out on that. But I had five months. I mean, I've been away for five months. But I've worked a lot on everything,” Rana said in a BCCI video.

On the other hand, Afghanistan have been completely outplayed in this series in both the red and white ball formats so far. They will be eager to sign off the series showing more fight, if not with a victory. But for that, the tourists will need to show more gumption in batting and bowling departments.

"Jaiswal does get a few chances and it is incredibly tough because there is so much quality. But he is one of those guys where he does get the right chances like this, he is going to have to score runs. That is just the nature of Indian cricket. There is no hiding from it. These guys every time when they get a chance to go out there, whether it is on rotation or you feel you are playing a team on a rotation basis, they get these few chances and they have to take it,” Ryan Ten Doeschate explained. 

The left-hander Yashasvi Jaiswal had made an unbeaten 116 against South Africa at Visakhapatnam in his previous appearance but since then the return of Ishan Kishan has added one more contender to the top-order positions. Kishan did no harm to his reputation with a hundred at Lucknow, and skipper Shubman Gill dropped himself to No. 3 to accommodate Jaiswal.

Nitish Kumar Reddy had missed the second ODI with a sore left thigh, but Ryan Ten Doeschate said the all-rounder has recovered enough to feature in the eleven at Chepauk.

“Nitish, he probably could have played the last game as well. But he will be good to go for tomorrow's game,” said Ryan Ten Doeschate.

India have added Harshit Rana into the squad ahead of Chennai ODI after completing rehabilitation at BCCI Centre of Excellence, but he is unlikely to play here, as all-rounder Nitish Reddy might come in for Arshdeep Singh, who has played two matches in this series.

Along with a dominance-extending series clean sweep, India will eye substantial runs from KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal in the third and final ODI against Afghanistan. While Rahul's spot in the one-day squad has never really been in doubt, Jaiswal would welcome a heavy knock to stake his claim for a space in the already-crowded top-order. Jaiswal was brought back to the 50-over format for the first time since December 2025, and he was dismissed for 4 in the second match against the Afghans at Lucknow.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the third and final ODI of the three-match series between India and Afghanistan, straight from the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. Stay tuned for all the live updates.
