West Indies vs India 3rd T20I Highlights: Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant smashed half-centuries in the 3rd T20I against the West Indies in Guyana.
India registered a seven-wicket victory against the West Indies in the final T20I to clinch the three-match series 3-0 at Providence Stadium in Guyana on Tuesday. Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant smashed fifties, which helped India chase down the target of 147 runs. India suffered an early blow in the form of Shikhar Dhawan, whose poor run in T20Is continued with another failure. Thereafter, KL Rahul played some fancy strokes before being dismissed by Fabian Allen for 20. Rishabh Pant, learning from his mistakes in the earlier matches, played a sensible 42-ball 65-run knock, laced with four boundaries and as many sixes . He shared a 106-run stand with captain Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli played a stupendous 45-ball 59-run knock when India lost early wickets. He hit six fours in his innings. Earlier, riding on Kieron Pollard's 58-run knock, Windies posted a 146-run total on the board. Deepak Chahar put up a valiant show, claiming three crucial wickets for India in the start. (SCORECARD)
