Last night, the Indian cricket team emerged out victorious as they whitewashed their opponents, Windies by 3-0. After winning the first two matches in Kolkata and Lucknow, team India defeated Windies by 6 wickets in the final encounter as well and won the T20I series.
However, unlike the first two matches, that turned out to be pretty one-sided matches, the final encounter at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, turned out to be a thriller one and kept the audiences on the edge of their seats throughout the match.
Before the match started, the toss was won by the Windies and they chose to bat first. The Windies gave a total of 181 runs as a target to team India.
The openers of team India, Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan kickstarted the second innings. While, Rohit Sharma was dismissed at 4 runs, on the other hand, Shikhar Dhawan gave a stunning performance and scored 92 runs and took India to the winning side, doing so, he smashed 10 fours and 2 sixes.
Rishabh Pant also went on to make his maiden fifty and scored 58 runs and smashed 3 sixes and 5 fours. It was a complete entertainment and a Dhawan-Pant show last night as India won the match by 6 wickets.
The complete social media applauded team India and a wave of tweets and appreciation posts hit the social media. Sachin Tendulkar, the master blaster, also took to twitter and appreciated the performance of Men In Blue with his tweet.
Here, have a look at the tweet of Sachin Tendulkar :

Great effort by the West Indies to take it so close in the end but Rishabh and Shikhar really had a good time with some terrific hitting. Good to end the home season with a victory #IndvWI

Disappointed with Nadeem missing out….he’s the only player who won’t be traveling to Aus for the T20i. Since he’s come this far…hope he gets a game someday….good kid. #IndvWI #T20i

13 overs done. No Pollard. No Braithwait. Why play them at all if they’re not considered good enough to bat 7 overs in a T20 game? #IndvWI
