“I had a very wonderful chat with Virat a couple of days back, and the kind of input he gave me, he has seen me throughout the years. It’s been almost seven or eight years of international cricket and he has seen me from day one. He just wanted me to spend some time at the crease and get used to the 50-over game. He had some great pointers. That kind of stayed in my mind,” Pandya said after the game.

Following the wins in the first two formats, the Indian Team will now turn their heads to the concluding series which is a five-game T20I series. A few games will also take place in Florida, stretching team India’s tour to the USA.
