Pallekele International Cricket Stadium: India Head coach Gautam Gambhir praised the team for pulling off a win in the third T20I against Sri Lanka via a Super Over for a clean sweep series triumph. But he also urged the team to improve themselves on playing at pitches providing lots of turns.

At the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, India struggled against both pacers and spinners to post a modest 137/9. But India came back in the back-end of the match by restricting Sri Lanka to 137/8, after being 129/4 at one point, thanks to some tight bowling from part-timers Riyan Parag, Rinku Singh and Suryakumar Yadav.

In the Super Over, India kept Sri Lanka to just two runs, before achieving the required runs on the first ball to seal 3-0 series win. "Guys, congratulations on a great series win. Congratulations to Surya as well, outstanding captaincy and more importantly, with the bat as well. I asked for something before the start of the game and you absolutely delivered it."
