India complete 3-0 rout courtesy of another Shreyas Iyer brilliance

No.3 batter Shreyas Iyer continued his merry ways having been promoted to the position. After scores of 57* and 74* in the first two T20Is, he backed it up with another 73-run unbeaten knock in the third and final game.

Chasing 147 for the whitewash on a good batting surface, India began poorly. They lost Rohit Sharma early to Dushmantha Chameera. Sanju Samson and Iyer got the scoreboard ticking before the former fell.

Iyer then continued his rampage and reached his fifty in the company of Deepak Hooda. Although Hooda fell soon after for 21, Iyer then finished the match in the company of Ravindra Jadeja. The win is India’s 12th consecutive win in T20Is.
