Indian skipper, Virat Kohli says that winning 3-0 feels very good. Credits his team and all the new players who came in for doing well. Special mentions Deepak Chahar for his performance. Adds Deepak Chahar is very similar to Bhuvneshwar Kumar but adds Kumar has more experience to bowl in the death. On Rishabh Pant, Kohli admits they are looking at Pant as the future and they are just trying to give him more space and not put pressure on him. Further adds that the world will see his potential as he has come a long way forward from when he started. Kohli then adds that it is important to have fun and adds that the team they will face in ODIs and Test is a stronger side and they are looking forward to it. The Indian skipper then goes to his teammates to celebrate the series victory.

Krunal Pandya has been named the Man of the Series for his brilliant performance. Pandya says that it has been a satisfying series and he is happy to contribute in team's win. Tells that the main focus is to improve everyday. On playing against Pollard, he says that Pollard is like his brother and admits they both know their strengths and weaknesses. Laughs and says that whoever is smarter on the day comes out on top.

West Indies skipper, Carlos Brathwaite admits that they started off badly with the bat again. Credits Pollard for taking them to a good total. Brathwaite credits his bowlers too as they took the game till the last over as he felt it was a below par total. Brathwaite admits he does not know if the batters have technical issues or mental issue as they have looked good in bits and pieces with the bat.

Stay tuned with us as we hear both the captains' thoughts and find out who is our Player of the Series of this 3-game T20I series.

India's hero with the ball today, Deepak Chahar is now down for an interview with Murali Kartik. Deepak Chahar says that the atmosphere was good to bowl and if there was swing he was looking to bowl up the pitch. Informs that he came to know that he would bowl with the new ball after coming onto the field as Washington Sundar bowled with it in the first 2 T20Is. Deepak says that the one that comes in to the left-hander is a very crucial ball. Further adds that the ball was not moving away much to the southpaws but it was coming in a lot more. Chahar feels that the ball that comes in troubles the batsmen more as that brings lbw, caught and bowled all into play. Chahar tells that in practice he uses the old ball as that helps him in games if there is no swing. Chahar though admits that the ball does not swing after the second or third over.

Earlier in the day after a delayed start, India won the toss and opted to bowl. The hosts got off to a brilliant start with the ball picking up early wickets. West Indies though managed to reach a respectable total of 146, courtesy of Pollard who scored a crucial 50. Deepak Chahar was India's star with the ball picking up 3 wickets and giving away just 4 runs in his 3 overs.

Nothing much to say about the West Indies bowling. Only two bowlers were in the wickets column, Oshane Thomas with two and Allen with one. The latter was economical too but the rest all were expensive given the context of the game. Overall, the bowling was just not good enough to restrict India under this below-par total.

Easy-peasy run chase for India. They hardly ever looked in trouble. Yes, they lost both their openers early but skipper, Kohli and the young Rishabh Pant steadied the ship and then upped the ante when required. Though the skipper departed before the final hurdle, Pant stayed there till the end and ensured that there was no hiccup.

19.1

Carlos Brathwaite To Rishabh Pant

SIX! Dismissive! What a way to finish the chase! Brathwaite delivers it full and on middle, Pant gives it the full whack of his bat and launches it over the bowler's head for a maximum. Handshakes on the field, India win by 7 wickets and have clean swept the 3-match T20I series.

Carlos Brathwaite to bowl the final over.

A very full ball outside off, Virat reaches out for it and squeezes it out behind square on the off side. It's aerial and Lewis stretches across to his left to complete the with both hands. No real celebration from anyone, understandably so. 14 needed off 15 balls.

SIX! Pant is reminding everyone of Raina with his big shots over extra cover. He picks the line early, it's outside off on a length and Rishabh goes inside-out. Rifles his shot all the way for a biggie. 14 from the over, India are marching towards the target, 38 needed more off 30 balls.

Classy shot! Fullish ball on off, Virat steps down the track and drives it back past the bowler to long off for a run.

Carlos Brathwaite To Virat Kohli

FOUR! That nearly went all the way. Sublime this time from the Indian skipper. He gets width outside off, decides to go aerial again and hammers it over extra cover. The onfield umpire gets it checked upstairs before signalling a boundary. Touch and go, that. 10 coming off this over, 52 needed more in the remaining 6 overs.

13.5

Carlos Brathwaite To Virat Kohli

AERIAL! BUT SAFE! Kohli gets away with a poor shot here. A length ball around off, Kohli takes a big stride forward and tries to heave it over the leg side. But it takes the upper half of his bat and flies in the air towards mid on. The deep fielder charges but the ball falls safely. They manage to come back for the second.

11.5

Sunil Narine To Virat Kohli

In the air... SAFE! Kohli is very lucky there. He jumps out of the crease to flick a delivery on his pads but closes the face of the bat early. It loops off the leading edge but goes safely down the ground towards long off for a run. Could have easily chipped it back to the bowler on another day.

Oshane Thomas To KL Rahul

A dot to end! Shorter in length and outside off, Rahul looks to cut but mistimes it to point.

3.5

Oshane Thomas To KL Rahul

Well bowled! Kept bowling short and now spears it full and on middle, Rahul is up for the task as he jams it to mid on.

3.4

Oshane Thomas To KL Rahul

BEATEN! A short one outside off, Rahul looks to upper cut it but misses.

3.3

Oshane Thomas To KL Rahul

In the air... just wide! FOUR! Rahul is flirting with danger here. Oshane Thomas bowls this short and outside off, Rahul slashes at it. The ball goes off the outside edge to the left of third man. The fielder runs to his right and dives with one hand stretched out but can't reach it.

3.3

Oshane Thomas To KL Rahul

WIDE! Rahul misses out there! This is short and wide outside off. KL throws his bat at it but misses.

3.2

Oshane Thomas To Virat Kohli

Slightly shorter and outside off, not a bad ball as Thomas is bowling to his field. Kohli guides it through cover-point. There is a fielder in the deep so just a run.

3.1

Oshane Thomas To Virat Kohli

On a good length and around off, kept out.

Sheldon Cottrell To KL Rahul

DROPPED! Harsh to call that one though as it was a top effort. A short ball around off, Rahul stands tall and pulls it uppishly towards mid-wicket. Lewis there dives to his right and looks to take it with one hand but the ball does not stick. In the end, he saves two.

2.5

Sheldon Cottrell To KL Rahul

FOUR! Poor ball and put away! Way too short and on the pads, Rahul helps it on its way to the fine leg fence. Not a good option with the fine leg up.

2.4

Sheldon Cottrell To Virat Kohli

A little too straight on middle, this is worked around the corner for one.

2.3

Sheldon Cottrell To Virat Kohli

Back of a length on off, Kohli looks to guide it past short third man but fails to do so.

2.2

Sheldon Cottrell To KL Rahul

Good length and around off, this is guided down to third man for an easy run.

2.1

Sheldon Cottrell To KL Rahul

Fuller and around off, this is hit to mid off.

Virat Kohli is the new batsman in.

Oshane Thomas To Shikhar Dhawan OUT!

OUT! Straight to the man! A soft, soft dismissal that. Dhawan must be gutted at the moment. West Indies though will rejoice as they get the start they want. Oshane Thomas draws first blood. He bowls it short and on the body of Dhawan. Dhawan pulls but hits it straight to short fine leg where Cottrell makes no mistake. A little to that fielder's left or right and it would have been a boundary. India need 137 from 108.

1.5

Oshane Thomas To Shikhar Dhawan

On the shorter side and outside off, Dhawan looks to pull but mistimes it to mid-wicket.

Oshane Thomas might have done some damage to himself as he tried to stop the ball. The physio is out.

1.4

Oshane Thomas To Shikhar Dhawan

A couple now! Fuller and on middle, Dhawan strokes it to the right of the bowler. Thomas does get a hand to it and hence, it is just two as mid on runs behind it and stops it.

1.3

Oshane Thomas To Shikhar Dhawan

Almost plays it on! Loose shot that! This is a good length ball outside off, Dhawan throws his bat at it but the ball goes off the inside edge past the leg pole and towards short fine leg.

1.2

Oshane Thomas To KL Rahul

One more single as Rahul nudges this with the angle towards square leg.

1.1

Oshane Thomas To Shikhar Dhawan

Shorter and around off, Dhawan guides it through point for one.

Oshane Thomas to bowl from the other end.

Sheldon Cottrell To KL Rahul

Just the biggie from the first over then. Fuller and on middle, Rahul works it to mid-wicket.

0.5

Sheldon Cottrell To KL Rahul

On the fuller side on off, Rahul creams it to mid off.

0.4

Sheldon Cottrell To KL Rahul

A good comeback! A yorker but on the pads, Rahul looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. An appeal but the umpire shakes his head.

0.3

Sheldon Cottrell To KL Rahul

SIX! That is some way to get off the mark! What a shot. Authoritative. Rahul comes down the track and gets to the pitch of the ball. He lofts it over mid off's head and it goes all the way.

0.2

Sheldon Cottrell To KL Rahul

A straighter line again, Rahul works it to the man at mid-wicket. The new opener needs a few sighters.

0.1

Sheldon Cottrell To KL Rahul

Goes fuller and a little inward movement for the bowler. Rahul works it to mid on.

We are back for the chase! The Indian openers, KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan make their way out to the middle. Sheldon Cottrell has the new ball in hand and he will be bowling to the right-hander. Here we go...
