That's that from us for today. India, a total opposite of how they looked in South Africa not so long ago. Yes, the home conditions and the regular captain were a huge factor but kudos to the team for showing great intent in both the formats.
Windies have a lot of things to ponder upon, especially their bowling in the shortest format of the game.
Bye for now, and see you again when the SL tour of India kicks off.
Till then, take care and good bye.

A tough tour for the West Indians. They have failed to win a single game on this tour. India blanked them 3-0 in the ODIs and now they have been run over by the home team in T20s as well.
A big, big high for Rohit Sharma, on the other hand. He has been exceptional as a leader and decision maker. In Venkatesh Iyer, Suryakumar, Harshal and Bishnoi, India have found some T20 gems and starts for the future.
