Thanks for joining us for the live coverage of the 3rd T20 international between India and the West Indies. This was Badal Pareek alongside Arjun Bhalla, Shubham Agarwal and our scorer/analyst Zeeshan Naiyer.

Congratulations to India as they clinch the trophy 3-0. We will be back with you as we bring you updates from all across the globe. Until then stay tuned and stay safe!
Rohit Sharma | Winning Captain: "That is what I wanted to clarify, the team that was known for its ability to chase has changed, a lot of players that were a part of the squad are not here. For us, as a team, whether we bat first or chase, it is a challenge in both departments. We wanted to bat first as well as chase, as a team we want to improve in all departments. Our middle order is relatively new so we wanted to tick all our boxes. Happy with the results, we got what we wanted from the series. Now it is about moving forward as a team and fill those holes that we lack in. 

The inexperience in the batting order is the one thing that we spoke about. We understand that we still are a very good chasing team but most of the members are missing from the team which is why with these guys we wanted to understand how they bat under pressure. There are different challenges even if you bat first. As a team, it was important to get what we wanted from this series which is something we saw throughout the series, the middle order bailed us out with the top order failing at multiple times and same happened today. A good sign moving forward for us. Something that we can be proud of. 

I remember speaking of the biggest takeaway from the ODI series being the middle order getting an opportunity to bat and make it count. I was very impressed with our seam bowling inn that ODI series. Even here, Avesh (debutant), Harshal(relatively new) and Deepak(in and out of the squad) all three haven't played much for us, the challenge was to give them some game time and now see how they respond and you know a team like West Indies will test your bowling unit. We know they bat very deep, almost till number 10. So it was a good challenge for us. There are few guys missing and we want to make sure that all the guys are fresh which is why we want to keep rotation and try and give guys who are sitting an opportunity as well. We are keeping one eye on the World Cup we want all guys to get enough game time so we can see what they have to offer.

Sri Lanka will be a different challenge but as far as I am concerned I will not look at the opposition but look at what we need to do. Like I said there are a few things we need to work on. The ground fielding and catching are the two areas we want to work on."
Suryakumar Yadav: "Just wanted to replicate what I did in the first game after Rohit (Sharma) got out. We plan for these situations in our team meetings. oday worked out well for me  I have been planning my game for these situations. I am keeping it simple. I just want to get the job done. Just don't hit the ball too hard."
Suryakumar Yadav is also the Man of the Series.
Suryakumar Yadav is also the Man of the Match for his 65 off just 31 deliveries.
Suryakumar Yadav earns the Hyundai Alcazar Grand Sixes of the Match award.
Harshal Patel gets the Dream 11 Gamechanger of the Series award.
Kieron Pollard | Losing Captain: "We were in the game for 15 overs but gave some 85 runs in the last five. We had a good start with the bat. Nicholas showed his consistency throughout the series. Rovman Powell showed he wants to be there. Fabulous Batsman. Coming to India is always going to be difficult but the way the boys responded was good to see."
It is time for the presentation.
Shardul Thakur: "If I'm doing the job for India as well, I have to look forward to it. I have done it for CSK but it's a much bigger responsibility with India. You have to be ready to use your variations. You are bound to go for runs. One or two boundaries are okay, you have to be mentally tough. It's about the next delivery, which is important. You have to follow your process. The basic idea was to bowl wide yorkers. It doesn't matter what I'm bowling, it has to be according to my field. If the batters hit me in the gap, that's fine. We have to keep sticking with what we're doing."
Harshal Patel: "We spoke about the right length on this pitch. The ball was holding on to this pitch, so we decided to not bowl the short ball as it was giving them to play their strokes. So we changed our plan and went with the fuller delivery. You have to have that clarity. You need to have your Plan B, you need to have that because you can go for runs someday. There was a dampness in the wicket that was making it difficult for us to find our landing spots. Apart from that, there wasn't much dew. We've played in worse conditions than these."
Badal: Brilliant bowling in the death overs have gifted India another win in this T20 series. India wins by 17 runs and have clinched this T20 Series 3-0.

Earlier in the day West Indies won the toss and decided to bowl first. They got off to the perfect start as Holder got rid of Ruturaj Gaikwad in the third over of the first innings. Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer batted with positive intent and got India back on track.

Once again the middle overs proved to be difficult for team India as they lost Iyer, Kishan and Rohit Sharma. It was a nightmare of a day for the Indian skipper who came out to bat in the middle order. He was struggling all along and was sent back to the pavilion in the 14th over. Surya Kumar Yadav and Venkatesh Iyer were two stars for the Indian team as the two paired up and added 91 runs off 41 balls for the 5th wicket.

Surya played a gem of an innings, the Indian middle-order batter scored 65 runs off 31 balls before he was dismissed on the final delivery of the match. Iyer played a supporting role from the other end and remained not out on 35 runs off 19 balls.

Roston Chase was once again the pick of the bowlers for West Indies as he picked up a wicket and only conceded 23 runs. Thanks to the carnage from Iyer and SKY, India posted a par score of 184 runs on the board when we take due into consideration.

The West Indies openers Mayers and Hope walked out to the middle with a hope to salvage some pride and save themselves from a whitewash at the hands of India in this T20 series. Chahar went berserk in the powerplay as he sent both the openers back to the pavilion.

Pooran and Powell came together to steady the ship. Both of them stitched a 47 runs partnership off just 26 balls. They were well on course but then came a bit of a wayward patch for the Windies as they lost 3 wickets in quick succession. In walked Romario Shepherd who joined hands with Pooran to once take this down to the wire.

Pooran was dismissed in the 18th over after scoring 61 runs off 47 balls. Romario was still out there in the middle with 31 runs needed off the last two overs. Harshal Patel bowled a brilliant 19th over in which he dismissed Romario and only conceded 8 runs off the over. With 23 runs needed off the last over of Shardul Thakur, it already seemed out of reach of the West Indies batters. India ended up winning by 17 runs and completed the whitewash in this T20 series.
