The Kashmir pacer Umran Malik, once again caught the headlines with his raw pace as he sends off the bails outside the 30-yard circle after bowling above 150 kmph to Michael Bracewell.

Having a look at the 3rd and final T20I match between India and New Zealand, Hardik Pandya opted to bat after winning the toss. Batting first, India posted a mammoth total of 234 runs with the help of Shubman Gill's unbeaten 126 runs.

His fabulous knock consists of 12 fours and 7 sixes. Rahul Tripathi also played well at the top order as he smacked 44 runs from 22 balls for his side. Chasing the target, New Zealand have been bowled out for just 66 runs.

The Indian bowlers bowled well in the second half of the game and didn't allow the opposition batters to settle down in the middle. Hence, India won the 3-match T20I series with Hardik Pandya handing over the trophy to the youngster Prithvi Shaw.

Winning captain Hardik Pandya received the Player of the Series award for his exceptional stints for the side and also shared a lot during the post-match presentation. "I don't mind winning (man of the series award), but there were so performances here that were exceptional.

This Man of the Series and trophy goes out to the whole support staff, I'm happy for all of them. (On doing things out of the box) Not to be honest, I always play the game like this," Hardik Pandya was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.

"I try to read what is required, not have preconceived ideas. In my captaincy, I look to keep it simple and back my gut. I have a simple rule - if I go down, I will go down on my terms. We've spoken about taking challenges.

When we played the IPL final, we felt the second innings was more spicy but on this surface today I wanted to make it a normal game because it was a decider. Hence, we batted first. Hopefully, we can continue performing like this," he added.
