Talking about the match, India, invited to bat first, faced early challenges as they crumbled to four wickets within the powerplay. However, the momentum shifted when Riyan Parag and Washington Sundar played crucial cameos, helping India post a target of 138 runs in the allocated 20 overs.

Despite the early setbacks, the Indian team showed resilience and fighting spirit, a trait that Gambhir himself epitomizes. 

With the series already won, leading 2-0, India looked to whitewash the hosts with a victory in this final match.
