The final match of the series was set to be a decider, and the Virat Kohli-led boys won it by seven wickets at Bengaluru.
Team India Have Emerged As A Global Dominant Force
Team India has emerged as world-beaters in the last 5-10 years. They were earlier known to be flat-track bullies, but the Indian squad has evolved as a globally dominant force. Although they have failed to get their hands on an ICC trophy for a long time now, they have dominated almost every team they have played against.
A lot of credit for it goes to the Indian captains past and present including, Sourav Ganguly, MS Dhoni, and Virat Kohli. They have been watchful of young talent brooming in the Indian cricketing circle and have helped them grow over the years in world cricket. It has led to Team India’s dominance on the global stage.
