Team India on Sunday hammered Sri Lanka by six wickets to clinch the three-match T20I series 3-0. This is the third time India have blanked an opponent in T20Is in as many series since Rohit Sharma took over captaincy reins. Before this, India defeated West Indies 3-0. In November 2021, India whitewashed New Zealand 3-0. It is India's 12th T20I victory on the trot.

Batting first, Sri Lanka huffed and puffed their way to 146/5 in 20 overs. Dasun Shanaka scored a blistering 74 runs while Dinesh Chandimal contributed with 22 runs. In response, India chased down the target in 16.5 overs. Iyer hammered a brilliant fifty. Deepak Hooda contributed with 21 runs while Sanju Samson managed 18. Ravindra Jadeja remained unbeaten at 22.
