India won by 7 wkts and Seal 3-0 Whitewash

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli put India in the driver’s seat after Shane Watson’s century helped Australia to 197/5.

What a magnificent end to the series for India! Considering they needed 17 runs off the final over, the pressure was on both Raina and Yuvi, who was batting for the first time in the series. And well, they have delivered.

He smashed the first two balls for a four and six in the final over to bring the equation down to 7 needed from 4 balls. In the end, it was Raina, who hit the winning runs and finished with a 25-ball 49. Earlier, Rohit and Dhawan got India off to a rollicking start and the visitors raced away to 74/1 at the end of the powerplay.

Kohli started where from he left off, notching up yet another fifty to make it three in a row now. Even though both Rohit and Kohli got out soon after reaching their fifties, Raina and Yuvi held their nerves to take their team home.

With this 3-0 series win, India have jumped from 8th position to the top of the ICC T20I rankings!
