PLAYER OF THE MATCH : Shreyas Iyer
Batter
Bowler
Avesh and Siraj had Sri Lanka reeling today after a superb display of fast bowling in the powerplay, having got an opportunity with India resting three bowlers. Shreyas Iyer himself has got these opportunities in the absence of Kohli and Pant. The depth of Indian cricket right now as they build towards the T20 World Cup is frightening. Another series, another sweep under the captaincy of Rohit. Sri Lanka had a couple of highlights. Shanaka was brilliant with his powerhitting. Nissanka got a score. But they really struggled without two of their main spinners. All three games were more or less one-sided. So that's a wrap of the limited-overs season for India, who finish with a record-equalling T20I streak. The Test matches are next. We'll be back with our comprehensive coverage in Mohali. Until then, it's goodbye.
Rohit | India captain: It's a pattern of everything that comes together. We played very well. Lot of positives came out from the series. Want to understand what kind of bench strength we have. Good to give opportunities to those guys. Important to tell guys not to worry about your positions in the team. Want to fill whatever gaps we have. Keeping that in mind we want to move forward. Going to be a big challenge but always nice to have guys in form (whom to pick). Once we reach Mohali we'll start thinking about the Tests.
Shreyas Iyer | POTM and POTS: All three knocks were special, but yesterday's - coming in at a crucial moment, I'd pick that. Only require one ball to get into form as long as you're keeping your eyes on the ball and playing it on its merit. The wicket was little two paced today compared to yesterday. Was playing on the merit. Outfield is so fast, just had to hit gaps. Been a rollercoster journey after my injury. Real test of you is during rehab sessions.
Shanaka | Sri Lanka captain: Want to congratulate India for a wonderful performance. Need some stitches on the hand (picked up the injury attempting a catch). Been tough without our senior bowlers. Didn't capitalise on the first six overs today again with the bat. Pace attack has been outstanding throughout last year or so. Not so much about pace but control. This is international cricket, we have to adapt, can't complain about conditions.
Avesh Khan - The wicket was supporting the bowlers, the plan was to just bowl proper line and lengths. The popping crease was slippery the other day (on why he struggled in the 3rd T20I against West Indies), here I just needed to be disciplined.
Ravindra Jadeja - The plan was to give Bishnoi and Kuldeep some match practice today, that's the reason I didn't bowl. I would stick to the sword celebration (to celebrate a milestone). I have worked hard at the NCA, the trainers there were helpful, that was my preparation for the T20Is and the upcoming Tests.
22:21 Local Time, 16:51 GMT, 22:21 IST: This is India's 12th win in a row in T20Is, equalling the record set by Afghanistan. Been another comprehensive win. Shanaka gave another glimpse into his hitting ability as he smashed 74 off 38 balls, but that came in a team total of 146/5 as his teammates put in another lacklustre display with the bat. The target never troubled India, despite Chameera extending his domination over Rohit in this format, getting him for the sixth time in 30 balls. Shreyas Iyer, finishing an incredible series with his third consecutive fifty without getting dismissed, took command after coming in at three. And this was too good a pitch to keep the runs down once he got in. Not to forget that fast bowling spell in the powerplay from Siraj and Avesh which set it all up. We'll have the presentations shortly.
Kumara to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, fitting that Iyer finishes off the series in which he's racked up scores of 57*, 74* and now 73*. Incredible. Full on the pads, flicked away to the midwicket boundary. India equal the record for most T20I wins in a row (men's), taking the series 3-0
