October 13, 2024: India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir showered praise on his team after their dominant performance in the T20I series against Bangladesh, which saw India secure a clean sweep with a 3-0 win.
Gambhir, a former Indian cricketer and World Cup winner, celebrated the team’s achievement by posting a picture with the victorious squad holding the series trophy.
He expressed his admiration for the team’s performance by calling it “a tour de force!” on social media platform X.
The comprehensive series win and the dominant performance across all three matches reinforce India’s growing prowess in the T20I format.
The final match, held at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, was marked by a stunning display of batting, with Sanju Samson leading the charge with a blistering century. Samson’s innings, combined with quickfire contributions from Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya, propelled India to a staggering total of 297/6 in 20 overs—a record in T20I cricket.
Bangladesh, in response, could only muster 164/7, falling short by 133 runs. This marked India’s largest T20I victory over Bangladesh, surpassing their previous 86-run win in New Delhi earlier in the series. The emphatic win highlighted the depth and firepower in India’s lineup.
