India captain Rohit Sharma was pleased with the effort his team put in as a comprehensive performance in the final T20I at Chennai on Sunday saw the hosts seal the series 3-0 against world champions West Indies.
“We spoke at the start of the game about not being complacent and wanting to come out to win. There is always scope for improvement. We need to improve on handling pressure situations while bowling,” Rohit said at the post-match presentation.
“It is important to stick to your strengths and a lot of these guys have not played much for India so a home series like this was the perfect opportunity to show their talent. I was also impressed with the fielding efforts in this series by the team,” added Rohit.
Meanwhile, Windies skipper Carlos Brathwaite credited his team for taking the ball to the last game but said would have liked to go home with a win,
“We wanted to put a smile on the fans’ face but didn’t get the result that we would have liked. I will take the effort and belief, especially taking it to the last ball after Shikhar and Rishabh’s partnership.”
He further added that the team has a lot of potential and are capable of retaining the title in the ICC World T20 2020 in Australia.
“There are a few talented guys here; Shai, Hetmyer and Pooran. But it is important to get the best out of everyone and create a unit that can challenge for the T20 World Cup in Australia,” he added.
