The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Sunday congratulated the members of the national team for clinching the Twenty20 International series against Australia 3-0.
India’s top batting order put Shane Watson’s unbeaten 86-ball 124 in the shade as they clinched the third and final match by seven wickets to blank Australia 3-0 at the Sydney Cricket Ground here on Sunday.
Watson’s superb maiden century powered Australia, batting first, to a handsome 197 for five. In reply, India rode on blistering batting from their top four batsmen — Shikhar Dhawan (26 in nine deliveries), Rohit Sharma (52 in 38), Virat Kohli (50 in 36) and Suresh Raina (49 not out in 38) — to overtake the target in the final over.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni-captained India, earlier won the first two T20Is comfortably in Adelaide and Melbourne, respectively.
“It was a superlative performance from Team India to clinch the T20I series in Australia 3-0. I extend my heartiest congratulations to MS Dhoni and his men for doing the nation proud,” BCCI president Shashank Manohar said in a statement.
