Ever since the start of the T20I series against West Indies, Rishabh Pant had been at the receiving end for his poor performance. In the first match the youngster got out for a golden duck and in the second game, he made way back to the pavilion scoring four runs. However, in the third T20I, Pant played a vital role in leading India to a seven-wicket victory and the Men in Blue whitewashed the series by 3-0. Needless to say that the netizens were immensely happy with Pant and Virat Kohli for their half-centuries and showered praises on the duo. But first, let’s check out how the match panned out for both the sides. India vs West Indies 3rd T20I Stat Highlights: Deepak Chahar & Rishabh Pant Smash New Records As IND Beat WI by 7 Wickets.
