India sweep Afghanistan in ODI series as Jaiswal stars and Gill hails 'ticking all the boxes'

The New Indian Express and NDTV Sports report that India completed a clean sweep of their ODI series against Afghanistan, with Yashasvi Jaiswal stepping up as the standout performer in the final match to seal the dominant series win.

Captain Shubman Gill was upbeat after the victory, saying the side 'ticked a lot of boxes' across the series — a significant remark given that the series was being used, in part, to test combinations and build confidence among emerging players in the ODI setup.

The sweep is India's latest emphatic home series result and comes with Gill cementing his role as white-ball captain. Jaiswal's form at the top of the order will be particularly encouraging for selectors, as India look to build a settled squad for future ICC events.

For everyday cricket fans, the result matters because it reflects the depth India now possesses across batting positions — with established names and fresh talent both delivering — as the team builds toward the next cycle of marquee tournaments.
