India steamrolled New Zealand in the third T20 International (T20I) at Eden Gardens in Kolkata to register a clean sweep in th🌄e three-match series.

After opting to bat first, the hosts got off to a tremendous start as captain Rohit Sharma and his partner Ishan Kishan took the team to a flyer.

The pair added 69 runs for the opening wicket in 6 overs before New Zealand’s stand-in skipper Mitchell Santner brought the speed breakers by dismissing Kishan (29), Suryakumar Yadav (0), and Rishabh Pant (4) to reduce India to 83/3 in nine overs.

Soon, Rohit smashed a crucial half-century, but Ish Sodhi removed him to deteriorate Indian batting further. The Mumbaikar hit 56 from 31 deliveries⛄ with the help of five fours and three sixes.

Shreyas Iyer (25 off 20), Venkatesh Iyer (20 off 15), Harshal Patel (18 off 11) and Deepak Chahar (21* off 8) made valuable contributions down the order to help India post a massive total of 184ౠ/7 on the boa🎀rd in 20 overs.

In reply, New Zealand got bundled out for a mere 111 and lost the contest by a huge margin of 73 runs. The Black Caps batting unit fell like a pack of cards with as many as eight batters registered single-digit scores, including two ducks. Opener Martin Guptill top-s♍cored with 51 off 36 balls, with the help of eight boundaries.

For the home team, Axar Patel shined with the ball and picked 🍷up a three-wicket haul while conceding only nine runs in three overs. Harshal also performed well as he took a couple of scalps for 26 runs in three overs.
