India completely dominated the fifth T20I against West Indies registering 88-run victory and secured a 4-1 series win on Sunday. However, the Indian team stole the limelight with their celebration and expressed their joy as Rohit Sharma and co. hopped on a buggy for a victory lap around the venue.
India outplayed West Indies in a five-match T20I series by 4-1 as they defeated the hosts by 88 runs in the final game. Shreyas Iyer made a vital contribution with a half-century while spinners bowled very well to wrap up West Indies for a low total. Ravi Bishnoi was the pick of the bowlers as he scalped four wickets. The team scored a win convincingly but their celebration after the series win was noteworthy.
It was a special moment as an Indian player hopped on a buggy for the victory lap. Windies cricket tweeted the same saying Rohit Sharma, Dinesh Karthik and Ravichandran Ashwin arrived at the medal ceremony in style.
