Legspinner Amit Mishra capped his superb run in the series with a career-best 6-48 on Saturday as India dismissed Zimbabwe for 163 in the fifth and final one-day international.
Mishra, whose previous best was 4-31 against West Indies two years ago in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, kept India in line for its first whitewash in an away series of five games or more.
India seamers Mohit Sharma and Jayadev Unadakt took the early wickets after India elected to field at a venue where bowling first is a big advantage.
For Zimbabwe, Sean Williams top-scored with 51 off 65 balls with six fours. Williams was among those to succumb to Mishra, who finished the series with a tally of 18 wickets.
