IND vs WI: Sunil Gavaskar Reveals "Most Impressive" Aspect Of India's T20I Series Win Over West Indies

India put in dominant displays to blank the visiting West Indies team in the three-match T20I series. The 3-0 clean sweep in the T20I series helped India go top of the ICC T20I team rankings. But it wasn't all smooth sailing for Rohit Sharma's team. There were periods in all three games that the visitors dominated but each time, India overcame the difficult situations to come out on top in the match. Following India's 17-run win over the West Indies in the third and final T20I at the Eden Gardens, batting legend Sunil Gavaskar spoke about the "most impressive" aspect of India's wins, especially in the final two games.
