After sealing the series, Shubman Gill-led India will look to complete a 3-0 sweep when they take on Afghanistan in the third and final ODI in Chennai.
India have also received a boost ahead of the clash, with pacer Harshit Rana being added to the squad after recovering from knee surgery.
The 24-year-old fast bowler completed his rehabilitation at the BCCI Centre of Excellence and has joined the Indian camp, giving Gill another pace option for the final match.
In a statement, the BCCI said, “The Men's Selection Committee has added Harshit Rana to the India squad for the third and final IDFC First Bank ODI against Afghanistan. Rana, who has completed his rehabilitation at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (COE), has linked up with the ODI squad in Chennai."
India head into the third ODI high on confidence after a commanding 170-run win in Lucknow, which helped Gill secure his first ODI series victory as captain.
The skipper led from the front with a sensational 154 off 110 balls, while Ishan Kishan's 125 powered India to a massive total of 402 runs before the bowlers completed the job.
Meanwhile, Afghanistan will look to finish the series on a positive note.
