Hardik Pandya and Sanju Samson's heartwarming gesture towards Hyderabad ground staff following India's T20I series victory against Bangladesh.

India showcased their dominance in the final T20I match against Bangladesh in Hyderabad with a resounding 133-run victory, clinching a clean sweep of the series. From winning the toss and opting to bat first to posting their highest-ever T20I total of 297 runs, everything fell into place for the home team. Sanju Samson shone with a record-breaking century, while Hardik Pandya's finishing prowess was on full display once again. The bowlers then stepped up to the plate, limiting Bangladesh to 164 for seven to seal a comprehensive win for India.

Samson, who was handed a fresh role in the series of opening the batting, did fail to prove his worth in the opening two ties, managing scores of 29 and 10. But the Kerala-based cricketer, on Saturday, became the first Indian wicketkeeper-batter to score a century in T20I cricket, when he smashed 111 off 47. He was adjudged the Player of the Match.

Hardik, who has been fabulous down the order for India, continued his dominating form in the third T20I as well, scoring 47 off just 18 balls. He was adjudged as the Player of the Series for his all-round performance. He scored 118 runs in three matches, at a strike rate of 222.64, and picked up a wicket.

Following the match, the two match-winning stars of the Indian team won hearts on social media as they posed for photographs with the ground staff at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. The pictures of that moment instantly went viral on social media.

With the T20I series over, India will now shift their focus back to Test cricket, with the team slated to face New Zealand at home in a three-match contest, which begins from October 16 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

Another clean sweep from India will guarantee their spot in the World Test Championship final for the third time in a row, irrespective of the results in the much-awaited Border-Gavaskar series later this year.
