Indore, Jan 15 (IANS): Brilliant fifties from Yashasvi Jaiswal (68) and Shivam Dube (63 not out) guided Team India to a stunning 6 wickets win (with 26 balls remaining) over Afghanistan to seal an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the 3-match series, here on Sunday.

The Men-in-Blue chased down 173 runs in just 15.4 overs.

Virat Kohli, who returned to the T20I side for the first time in 14 months, played a short but entertaining innings by scoring 29 off 16 balls.
