Dinesh Karthik hits last-ball six as India clinch Nidahas Trophy T20 title

India survived late drama in a pulsating final to clinch the Twenty20 tri-series after Dinesh Karthik smashed the final ball for a six to secure a thrilling four-wicket victory against a gallant Bangladesh side on Sunday. With India needing 34 runs off the last two overs, Karthik hammered 29 not out off just eight deliveries, his third six sealing India's third, and the most hard-earned, victory over Bangladesh in the tournament. India skipper Rohit Sharma praised the Bangladesh side for their 'fearless' brand of cricket after the game.
