That concludes our coverage of this tour. Though the ODI matches were one-sided, Zimbabwe fought back in the shortest format and almost snatched the series. India still managed to eke out a three-run win.

Thank you for joining us throughout the series. We will be back with live coverage of the upcoming matches as well. Till then, it's goodbye from Kaushal Raj and Aadya Sharma.

India's Test series against West Indies is their next fixture in the international calendar. The first Test starts on July 21.

Impressed with bowling & conference of young #BarinderSran while receiving the man of series award #INDvsZIM, he is surely a special player.

Dhoni holds the Trophy, hands it over to Barinder Sran and moves to the extreme side. Some things never change :) #INDvsZIM

Well done to Sran for persisting with his length despite an ordinary start to the last over. @ten_sports #INDvsZIM

Tweets pouring in for Sran for holding his nerve after a false start to the over.

That Mini-heart attack moment in last over :-p :-(
This is where experience comes in to play :-)
Well played Zimbabwe :-D #INDvsZIM

That concludes the award ceremony. Dhoni has joined the team with the trophy and they are posing for the photographers.

Dhoni: "Games get really close in this format, and Zimbabwe have performed really well. They need more games to get better. You want to win games, but yeah, I wanted to bat more as well. The fast bowling department requires a big pool of players, and we have done well. It was a good exposure for the youngsters. Games like these help you, and we got more to learn out of the T20 series."

Cremer: " I was happy with the way the guys fought, and I am happy for India. We came back well in the first game and nearly won the series. If we carry on playing consistently well, we can get better".

Sran (on the last over) " 21 runs were enough to defend for the final over, and I was very confident. The plan was changed midway after the first two balls."

BARINDER SRAN IS THE MAN OF THE SERIES

KEDAR JADHAV IS THE MAN OF THE MATCH

#INDvsZIM t20. India win the series. Zimbabwe won our hearts. Taking a game so close in free end they proved they're not taken for granted.

Zimbabwe started off cautiously, but lost two quick wickets. Sibanda then unleashed some fluent strokes to get the chase going. After that, Moor took charge, but the spinners put the brakes in the middle overs. Timycen Maruma, with a quick cameo, almost took the hosts past the line, but was unable to hit the last ball for a boundary to give India a series victory.

19.6 Sran to Chigumbura, OUT! Heartbreak for Chigumbura, heartbreak for the Zimbabwean team and all of their fans. INDIA WIN BY 3 RUNS. Gets down the track to a full ball, converts it to a low full toss but can't get great contact on it, just manages to balloon it to Chahal at cover who takes an easy catch. India win! India win the series! What a game of T20 cricket.

19.5 Sran to Chigumbura, FOUR! Down the track, absolutely smashes this hard, it takes the under edge of the bat and beats short third man and that rockets to the fence.

19.4 Sran to Maruma, 1 run, digs out a full yorker outside off towards cover.

9 runs off 3 balls. A game of nerves now.

19.3 Sran to Maruma, no run, slightly wider this time, but a similar length and the batsman is beaten again.

19.2 Sran to Maruma, no run, full yorker outside off beats the batsman.

And, it is a FREE HIT AS WELL.

19.2 Sran to Maruma, FOUR! No-ball! Free-hit! Oh wow. HUGE FULL TOSS ON THE OFF STUMP, Maruma lifts this over the infield on the off side and it rolls to an empty extra cover fence.

19.2 Sran to Maruma, 1 WIDE, too far off side.

Dhoni and Bumrah are in the middle to provide Sran some advice and calm down his nerves.

19.1 Sran to Maruma, SIX! CATCH THAT (IN THE CROWD). Length ball, angling into the bat, fast, he just plants a foot down and absolutely smokes this over midwicket for a huge six.

One over. 21 runs. Sran to bowl the last.

18.6 Bumrah to Maruma, 1 run, ful ball on off, doesn't get all of that and it rolls to long on.

18.5 Bumrah to Maruma, no run, perfect yorker just outside off stump, only manages to dig it out straight back to the bowler.

18.4 Bumrah to Maruma, SIX! He has caught all of that, after missing out in the last couple of balls, he catches this completely, his bat swing timed perfectly as he lifts the back of a length ball over midwicket.

18.3 Bumrah to Maruma, 2 runs, similar shot played to a similar ball, this one goes more towards the midwicket region.

18.2 Bumrah to Chigumbura, 1 run, short of a length, gets a pull shot high on the bat and it falls short of long on.

18.1 Bumrah to Maruma, 1 run, smashes a length ball to long on, gets it high on the bat.

32 required off the last two. Which way will this game go?

17.6 Dhawal K to Chigumbura, no run, leaves a full yorker outside off.

17.5 Dhawal K to Maruma, 1 run, guides a back of a length ball to short third man.

17.4 Dhawal K to Maruma, no run, back of a length and slow, gets through his shot too quickly and the ball just goes over the stumps.

17.3 Dhawal K to Chigumbura, 1 leg bye, short slower ball, hits the body as he is through his pull shot too quickly, they scamper for a single as the ball rolls to point.

17.2 Dhawal K to Maruma, 1 run, back of a length ball, pushed to short midwicket.

Timycen Maruma walks in.

17.1 Dhawal K to Waller, OUT! What a piece of action. You can't keep Bumrah of the action at all. Short ball, tries to lift this over the short third man fielder. Bumrah, times his jump to perfection and takes a STUNNER!

Did someone just pull the plug on @TenSp0rtTv @ten_sports ???? Where did the #INDvsZIM match go?

Good over from Zimbabwe. 35 required from the last three.

16.6 Bumrah to Chigumbura, FOUR! Finally he manages to get a boundary of the last ball of the over.

16.5 Bumrah to Chigumbura, no run, his struggles at the crease continue.

16.4 Bumrah to Chigumbura, no run, can't get it away.

The 100 is up for Zimbabwe!

16.3 Bumrah to Waller, 1 run, the batsmen take the third consecutive single of this over.

16.2 Bumrah to Chigumbura, 1 run, still looking for his first boundary.

16.1 Bumrah to Waller, 1 run, action shifts back to Chigumbura.
