India beat West Indies by 17 runs to complete another clean sweepKOLKATA: Rain stayed away throughout the day, so did the Sun. But, Suryakumar Yadav joined the party under the Eden Gardens floodlights here on Sunday with all guns blazing. The rather gloomy Kolkata day turned into an evening of fireworks as Suryakumar, along with Venkatesh Iyer, guided India to 184 for five in the third and final T20 International against the West Indies. AS IT HAPPENED | SCORECARDThat was adequate as it eventually proved, with the West Indies being stopped at 167 for 9. Nicholas Pooran continued his defiance with a 47-ball 61. Rovman Powell and Romario Shephard blazed briefly, but those weren't enough. Like the ODIs, the T20I series was also a clean sweep for India with this 17-run win, the hosts dominating the entire tour. West Indies will have a lot to introspect. For the record, India had beaten New Zealand 3-0 too, in their previous T20I series at home. The major talking point during the West Indies innings was injury to Deepak Chahar, who pulled a muscle before the last ball of his second over, the third of the innings. Having already dismissed the West Indies openers, Chahar's walking off the ground was a blow to India, although in the context of the match it did not matter much.
