After winning the match, Rohit Sharma heaped praises on the fabulous show by his side in the post-match presentation. "We knew it's gonna be slightly tough, the shot-making wasn't easy at the start.

The guys who are set need to carry on for longer and the way we finished off the first innings was a great effort. When we finished the first 10 overs, we didn't think we could get to 190. It was a great effort from the boys and great finish," Rohit Sharma was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.

"There are three facets of the game which we are trying to improve. We gotta try and back the ideas about executing it with the bat. We want to try certain things and all in all I thought it was a great effort. Certain pitches will not allow you to do that and we need to assess how we go about.

It is all about backing your skills and strengths. I love playing here in West Indies. Indian team always receives great support from the Indian crowd coming in from the USA and also the local crowd here, quite superb to get such support," he added.

However, during the game, Shreyas Iyer put a brilliant effort on the field and saved a six for his side after Nicholas Pooran went on to take on Ravichandran Ashwin over the long-on region.
