After edging Ireland in the last week's opener, India moved 2-0 up with a 33-run victory on Sunday to win the series with a match to spare.
Having been put in to bat by the home side, the tourists finished their innings strongly to post 185-5, with Ruturaj Gaikwad top scoring with 58.
Andrew Balbirnie spearheaded Ireland's response, hitting an impressive 72 off 51 balls, but it was not enough as they finished on 152-8.

India may have already sealed a series victory but this afternoon's final T20 is far from a dead rubber, particulary for the hosts.
Ireland came close to beating the world's number one side last year and also in last week's rain-affected series opener, which they lost by just two runs.
So they go into match three with hope and knowing a win over India at Malahide would be a landmark day for Irish cricket.
Let's see if they can do it.
