IND vs AFG 2026 3rd ODI: Shubman Gill’s Team India will aim to complete a 3-0 series whitewash when they take on Afghanistan in the third and final one-dayer at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday. Indians have already sealed a series win with an unassailable 2-0 lead after their massive 170-run win in the second ODI in Lucknow on Wednesday.
A 3-0 whitewash will help Team India to a record-equalling 14th one – level with New Zealand since 2010. India’s last 3-0 series win came against Sri Lanka three years back in 2023.

With the series already in the bad, the home team will look to make some changes but assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate revealed that KL Rahul will continue to bat in the middle-order and is not expected to rise in the batting order with Team India expected to stick with Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan in the top three.
“The versatility of the batting line-up is fantastic. I don’t think it (Rahul batting up the order) is a consideration. We want to have a good look at Yashasvi as well. Obviously, he didn’t get around to scoring the last game, so, he will probably get another go,” Ten Doeschate said in the pre-match press conference in Chennai on Friday.
“We will be making a few changes from the first two games. I think part of the brief coming into the series was we wanted to try a few different combinations and give everyone a fair share of games,” he added.
Indians have never lost to Afghanistan in ODI matches between the two sides with 6 wins and one game ending as a tie in the 2018 Asia Cup in Dubai. The hosts will look to keep that unbeaten record intact and complete a whitewash in Chennai.
A habit worth keeping, skipper!
