India's batting, led by Rohit and Shreyas Iyer, sealed the victory with seven wickets to spare.
While Virat Kohli didn't have a standout performance with the bat in this match, he looked in great touch during his brief innings. In the chase of 192 runs, he entered the crease after the early dismissal of Shubman Gill, and despite his dismissal for 16 runs, he showcased glimpses of his renowned batting prowess.
