'Playing at different level': All-round India demolish New Zealand in 3rd T20I to seal series – Firstpost

Abhishek Sharma slammed the second fastest T20I fifty by an Indian and Suryakumar Yadav too chipped in with an unbeaten half-century to support India chase down 154 in only 10 overs to conquest the third T20I against New Zealand at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati on Sunday, November 25.

Before the batters made mockery of the minor chase, Indian bowlers led by Jasprit Bumrah stopped New Zealand to just 153/9 in 20 overs to set up the triumph.

So glad to see India play T20Is like this. Playing at a different level! No masti hopefully from Destiny.

Tells us, at times you need a title to free you up completely!

Hopefully they will be rewarded for their processes by the event!

This Indian T20 side is an absolute juggernaut. Their skill and cricketing brains make even elite teams look like minnows. Opponents can’t compete, they can only pray for an Indian negative day. It’s India’s World Cup to lose, everyone else is just playing for second place.#INDvNZ
