IND vs AFG 2nd ODI: India sealed the three-match ODI series 2-0 in Lucknow with a 170-run win against Afghanistan in the 2nd ODI. India posted a mammoth 402-run total after centuries from Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan. Despite the promise of a 450+ total, India’s middle and lower order failed miserably. Shreyas Iyer (26), KL Rahul (0) and Washington Sundar (19) could not contribute heavily after Gill and Kishan added a 224-run stand. Rohit Sharma also chipped in with 48 after Yashasvi Jaiswal fell early for 4.
Defending that total wasn’t a big issue for India’s bowlers. Even though India opted to go with just five bowlers, they kept things tidy. Gurnoor Brar (3/60) and Arshdeep Singh (3/45) picked up three wickets each, while Prince Yadav struck twice on debut. Rahmat Shah waged a lone battle with a 79-run knock after Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Sediqullah Atal chipped in with 41 and 42, respectively. However, with Afghanistan went a batter short with Darwish Rasooli retiring hurt with an injury. In the end, Afghanistan folded for 232.

IND vs AFG Live Score: India win match, series
17/06/2026 21:25
Game, set, match and series for India. With Prince Yadav removing Rahmat Shah for 79, India win the match as Darwish Rasooli won't return to bat after retiring hurt. Afghanistan have been bowled out for 232, handing India a 170-run win. Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan were the architects with a century each. It was Gill's maiden ODI ton as ODI captain. Ishan also got his ton since returning to the side after almost two years. India's 402-run total was too big to chase down for Afghanistan. And Indian bowlers did not make it easy. Gurnoor Brar (3/60) and Arshdeep Singh (3/45) picked up three wickets each, while Prince Yadav (2/56) struck twice on debut. Kuldeep Yadav did not get any wickets, but he bowled a tight spell, conceding just two boundaries in his 10 overs. Now, Team India will head to Chennai for the final ODI on Saturday, June 20.
IND vs AFG Live: Gurnoor Brar finishes spell
17/06/2026 21:21
In his 2nd ODI, Gurnoor Brar finishes his spell with 3/61. Despite leaking runs, he has been India's wicket-taking bowler, who has bowled fast throughout his spell. His spell has included 32 dot balls, and he bagged wickets of Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Hashmatullah Shahidi, and Saleem Safi.
IND vs AFG Live: Gurnoor Brar strikes
17/06/2026 21:04

IND vs AFG Live: Kuldeep goes wicketless
17/06/2026 20:41
Kuldeep Yadav concludes his spell with 0/42 from his 10 overs. He's been fairly economical, with an economy rate of 4.20, and has beaten the bat a few times, but hasn't taken a wicket yet. The Afghanistan batsmen have managed to hit him for just 2 fours and a six.
IND vs AFG Live: Arshdeep removes Allah
17/06/2026 20:30

IND vs AFG Live: Rashid Khan departs
17/06/2026 20:27
Arshdeep Singh strikes and he gets Rashid Khan. Arshdeep bowls a back-of-the-length delivery on the off stump, and as Rashid Khan attempts an uppercut towards third man, he gives away an easy catch to Rohit Sharma. Afghanistan are 6 down.
IND vs AFG Live: 50 for Rahmat Shah
17/06/2026 20:18
Rahmat Shah has been waging a lone battle and he gets to his half-century off 52 balls. Even as wickets have fallen around him, he has looked rock solid.
IND vs AFG Live: Prince Yadav has his maiden wicket
17/06/2026 20:10
Prince Yadav has his first wicket, finally. An excellent delivery that cleans up Nangeyalia Kharoti for 6. Prince was denied wicket when he dismissed Rahmaullah Gurbaz as he overstepped and it was a no-ball. Now, as all look at the umpire, he breathes a sigh of relief. There is no signal from the umpire and the wicket stands. Afghanistan are 5 down for 170.
17/06/2026 20:10
IND vs AFG Live: Rahmat Shah on the charge
17/06/2026 20:04
Rahmat Shah is batting with a sense of control and aggression, scoring at a brisk tempo as he takes control of the Afghanistan innings. He's finding the boundary regularly, with a flurry of fours coming off against Gurnoor Brar, Washington Sundar, and Prince Yadav. And when he is unable to find boundaries, he is rotating the strike and capitalising on scoring opportunities.
IND vs AFG Live: Rahmat Shah takes charge
17/06/2026 19:58
Rahmat Shah's four off Gurnoor Brar in the 27th over injects some much-needed energy into the innings to ease the pressure.
IND vs AFG Live: Shahidi departs
17/06/2026 19:45
Gurnoor Brar strikes and Afghanistan lose their captain Hashmatullah Shahidi for 4. Brar bowled a shortish delivery and as Shahidi tried to pull, it took an inside edge and hit the stumps. Afghanistan are effectively 5 down now.
IND vs AFG Live: Darwish Rasooli retires hurt
17/06/2026 19:43
Darwish Rasooli had to be stretchered off after the end of the 1st innings. But Afghanistan allowed him to come and bat. He was in no position to bat. And a quick physio session turns out to be decisive. He is called back, asking him to retire hurt. He walks off the field, scoring 6 off 6.
IND vs AFG Live: Sediqullah Atal departs
17/06/2026 19:33
Washington Sundar breaks the partnership, as Sediqullah Atal departs for 42 off 50 balls. He is trapped lbw.

17/06/2026 19:26
Afghanistan's batsmen are gradually building momentum in their innings, with Rahmat Shah and Sediqullah Atal finding the boundary against Kuldeep Yadav and Washington Sundar. The two are now putting the pressure back on the bowlers with a half-century stand.
IND vs AFG Live Score: 100 up for Afghanistan
17/06/2026 19:17
100 up for Afghanistan. But the required run rate is nearing 10. Afghanistan needs to go harder, especially at Washington.
IND vs AFG Live Score: India stop the runs
17/06/2026 19:08
The run rate has dipped significantly in the last few overs. Afghanistan were 62/1 in 10 overs and have scored just 28 runs in the next 7 while losing a wicket. Kuldeep, Arshdeep and Washington Sundar have kept things tight.
IND vs AFG Live Score: Arshdeep Singh strikes
17/06/2026 18:53
A sub-par knock from Zadran. Arshdeep bowls a sharp bouncer and he doesn't time the pull shot well. Prince takes a good catch diving forward while running from deep backward square leg.

IND vs AFG Live Score: India ahead after powerplay
17/06/2026 18:40
End of the powerplay. Gurnoor has been the standout bowler for India. Debutant Prince has bowled a few good deliveries but hasn't been consistent enough. Arshdeep started well but was taken off after 3 overs. Gurbaz, who a scored hundred in the last game, has departed. At this stage, India is ahead. Meanwhile, Kuldeep Yadav comes in to bowl.
IND vs AFG Live Score: Gurnoor Brar strikes
17/06/2026 18:29
Gurbaz doesn't survive for long. A no-ball saved him earlier but it's another short ball that's caused him trouble. A chest-high ball just outside off and Gurbaz looks to guide it to third man. But it's too close to the body and he features it to KL Rahul. Gurnoor takes the first wicket again.

IND vs AFG Live Score: Gurbaz survives
17/06/2026 18:25
A sharp bouncer got the better of Gurbaz and Prince claimed his maiden ODI wicket. But it turns out that he had overstepped. A costly error from the debutant.
IND vs AFG Live Score: Prince Yadav returns
17/06/2026 18:21
Prince returns to bowl from the other end. He bowls straighter lines now, targetting the stumps and the pads. He bowled a bit wide to Gurbaz and his bouncers didn't effect the openers in his first 2 overs.
IND vs AFG Live Score: Gurnoor Brar in
17/06/2026 18:14
Gurbaz has now attacked Arshdeep as well. Prince has gone for 18 in 2 overs and Shreyas has brought Gurnoor Brar, who opened the bowling alongside Arshdeep in Dharamshala, for him.
IND vs AFG Live Score: Gurbaz in full flow
17/06/2026 18:03
Prince Yadav bowled a couple of good balls in his first over in international cricket but in-form Rahmanullah Gurbaz managed to hit him for 2 fours. Great start for Afghanistan.

IND vs AFG Live Score: KL Rahul to keep wickets
17/06/2026 17:53
India has decided to hand the gloves back to KL Rahul. In the first game, Ishan Kishan was the keeper. As expected, Arshdeep Singh is opening the bowling for India. Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer is leading the side since Shubman Gill isn't on the field.
IND vs AFG Live Score: Did India underscore?
17/06/2026 17:50
India were 320/2 in 36.2 overs. Yet, they managed to score just 82 further runs in 13.4 over and lost 8 wickets. 450 was very much in the card but the Men in Blue lost their way. Still, India should win the match comfortably.

Shreyas Iyer has become the 22nd Indian batter to score 3,000 runs in ODI cricket.
IND vs AFG Live Score: India post 402
17/06/2026 17:25
What promised a 450+ score ends up in 402 as Kuldeep Yadav is run out. Shubman Gill led from the front after Yashasvi Jaiswal (4) and Rohit Sharma (48) fell. With Ishan Kishan, he added a 224-run stand. Gill smashed 154, while Ishan hit 125. Indian batting fell like a house of cards. Shreyas Iyer chipped in with 26 while Washington Sundar scored 19 as India were bowled out for 402 in 49.5 overs, with 7 wickets falling for 62 runs in the last 10 overs.
IND vs AFG Live Score: Washington Sundar departs
17/06/2026 17:16
India are 9 down, and it's Washington Sundar who falls for 19. India are 396/9. Sundar tries to go for a delivery that spun a bit on the leg side and as he tried to play it on the leg side, he got a faint edge for an excellent catch by Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Rashid Khan gets his third wicket.
IND vs AFG Live Score: Arshdeep Singh falls
17/06/2026 17:15
India keep losing wickets as Arshdeep Singh departs for 3. Allah Ghazanfar bowled a good length delivery, and Arshdeep Singh lunged forward, attempting a flick shot towards long on. But he got elevation, and the ball flew towards Rashid Khan for an easy catch.
IND vs AFG Live Score: Gurnoor Brar falls
17/06/2026 17:11
Rashid Khan returns after a long break and he gets a wicket. He bowled a legbreak, good length delivery on the stumps, and Gurnoor Brar tried to attempt a drive towards long off. But unfortunately, the ball flew towards Ibrahim Zadran, who completed an easy catch. India 387/7.
IND vs AFG Live Score: Shreyas Iyer departs
17/06/2026 16:55
Nangeyalia Kharote strikes again, his third wicket in his last 7 balls. And he gets another big fish Shreyas Iyer, who falls for 26. Shreyas Iyer attempted a flick shot towards deep mid-wicket, but unfortunately, the ball flew towards Ibrahim Zadran for an easy catch.
IND vs AFG Live Score: Iyer-Sundar on crease
17/06/2026 16:53
India's innings is experiencing a sudden jolt as Kharote struck twice in quick succession, dismissing Shubman Gill and KL Rahul to apply pressure on the batting side. The brief flourish from Gill and Shreyas Iyer, who hit a four and a six respectively, has been swiftly countered by Kharote's double strike, shifting the momentum slightly in favour of the bowlers. With six overs left, India are still comfortable at 369/5.
IND vs AFG Live: KL Rahul gets a golden duck
17/06/2026 16:46
KL Rahul comes, sees the sun and departs. Nangeyalia Kharote bowled a good-length ball on the stumps, and KL Rahul took the gamble with a flick shot towards long on. But he fails to time it and Ibrahim Zadran takes an easy catch. It will go down as a soft dismissal.
IND vs AFG Live: Shubman Gill departs
17/06/2026 16:46
An excellent knock by Shubman Gill comes to an end. He departs for 154 off 110 balls. Nangeyalia Kharote bowled a good length on the stumps, and Shubman Gill tried to take him on with a reverse sweep towards deep point. But it was in the air and Darwish Rasooli made no mistake. He gets a standing ovation from the crowd.

IND vs AFG Live: Shreyas Iyer joins in
17/06/2026 16:32
Shubman Gill is struggling with cramps under the heat. And the onus is on Shreyas Iyer to take the load. India are 340/3 in 40 overs with 10 more to go. Iyer has started slow off the blocks, while Gill is also taking a backseat with 146 off 104 balls.
IND vs AFG Live: Ishan Kishan departs
17/06/2026 16:17
The 224-run partnership is broken as Ishan Kishan falls for 125 off 79 balls. Ishan was in a hurry to get out as he was tired. He tried to take on Kharoti on every ball. After hitting the first two for two sixes, he miscued the shot on the third ball. As a result, Ikram Aikhili took an easy catch. India 320/3 after 36.3.
IND vs AFG Live Score: Ishan-Shubman bring up 200-run stand
17/06/2026 16:11

17/06/2026 15:55
Shortly after Shubman Gill, his close friend and strike partner, Ishan Kishan, brings up his 2nd ODI ton. The only other ODI ton ended up as a double century. He gets to his century off just 71 balls. Both batters get to their milestones in the same over. India are flying at 266/2 after 33 overs.

17/06/2026 15:49

He's been relentless with his boundary-hitting, finding the ropes with a remarkable 13 fours and clearing the fence twice, all while maintaining a blistering strike rate of 132.1. Gill has put the bowlers under immense pressure, dictating terms with his aggressive yet controlled strokeplay.

17/06/2026 15:28
Ishan Kishan gets his first half-century in ODIs since 2023. He gets to the landmark off 52 balls, his eighth ODI fifty. India are motoring along nicely at 193/2 in 28 overs.

17/06/2026 15:17
India's batters have found their rhythm in this phase, particularly Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill.

17/06/2026 14:57
Despite Rohit Sharma's departure, India's innings is building nicely. Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan are navigating the middle overs with attacking intent. Gill, in particular, has found his rhythm, smashing a flurry of boundaries to keep the scoreboard ticking and put the bowlers under pressure. Ishan Kishan is also following Gill's footsteps, taking on the Afghan bowlers. India 136/2 after 20 overs.
IND vs AFG Live Score: Kishan playing patiently for now
17/06/2026 14:47
The ball is turning a fair bit and Ishan Kishan is not looking to take any chances for now. He would be looking to make it count. Another great over by Rashid comes to end. IND 122/2 in 18 overs.
IND vs AFG Live Score: 50 for Gill
17/06/2026 14:43
Skipper Shubman Gilli is continuing his sublime form here; smashes a big six over the mid wicket boundary to bring up 19h 50 in the format. Kharoti has no clue, as to what went wrong for him there. This is Gill's third in a row. IND 119/2 in 17 overs.
![Image]()
IND vs AFG Live Score: Period of rest for batters
17/06/2026 14:37
The middle-overs period generally sees a decline in the run-rate and the same is happening with Ishan and Gill at the moment. Last 4 overs have only produced 16 runs. Nothing to worry though.
IND vs AFG Live Score: Rohit Sharma misses 50
17/06/2026 14:29
Oh my god. Rashid Khan has produced a beauty and Rohit Sharma is castled. Typical Rashid wicket here. The batter comes forward, but the line is such, it just comes back in sharply, and crashes into the middle and leg. Rohit is out for 48 from 39.
![Image]()
IND vs AFG Live Score: Shubman looks good for a biggie
17/06/2026 14:26
You cannot bowl short to Shubman. Kharoti bowls one outside off and is cut for a four. You do that on middle or leg, and you'll be pulled for a six. Afghanistan have to produce a wicket here. Really, high time.
IND vs AFG Live Score: Rashid Khan into the attack
17/06/2026 14:23
Rashid Khan has been introduced by the skipper in the 12th over and he could cause a problem or two for the Indian pair. Just two runs from his opening over, and Indians must be more than happy to negotiate him safely.
IND vs AFG Live Score: Miserly over by Kharoti
17/06/2026 14:19
This looks like a decent all-round wicket, and India is paying due respect to the bowlers. Still plenty of overs left, and they are not looking to hit a boundary every ball. Kharoti gives only 5 runs.
IND vs AFG Live Score: India complete a successful PP
17/06/2026 14:18
Despite losing Jaiswal early, both Rohit and Gill have ensured positive intent and get to 80 runs in the PP. Afghanistan will have to tread carefully here.

IND vs AFG Live Score: Shubman Gill in
17/06/2026 13:48
Shubman Gill comes to the crease. He scored an unbeaten 84 off 66 balls in the truncated ODI in Dharamshala. He gave up his opening spot for Jaiswal, who failed to cash in.
IND vs AFG Live Score: Jaiswal falls
17/06/2026 13:41
Yashasvi Jaiswal gets a rare chance, but he squanders that opportunity. Jaiswal departs for 4 after trying to cut it over the third man. However, he does not get the elevation and Nangeyalia Kharoti takes the catch after fumbling in his first attempt.

IND vs AFG Live Score: Afghanistan begin with spin
17/06/2026 13:34
Allah Ghazanfar begins the bowling attack for Afghanistan, and he troubles Yashasvi Jaiswal in the first over with a maiden over. There is a turn on offer on this pitch.
IND vs AFG Live Score: New opening pair for India today
17/06/2026 13:29
With Yashasvi Jaiswal in, he will open with Rohit Sharma. Shubman Gill will slot down at No.3. This is a rare opportunity for Jaiswal to force the team management to give him more chances. If Jaiswal does well today, Rohit Sharma's place in the XI could be in jeopardy with 2027 WC in sight. Rohit Sharma surpasses Rahul Dravid for most matches for India.
