"Got Everything We Wanted From West Indies Series, Good Sign Moving Forward As Group": Rohit Sharma
India skipper Rohit Sharma on Sunday said that his side managed to achieve everything they wanted in the series against West Indies. Suryakumar Yadav's 65-run knock was backed up by a spirited bowling performance as India defeated West Indies by runs in the third and final T20I here at the Eden Gardens on Sunday. Harshal Patel returned with three wickets while Venkatesh Iyer also got two wickets. "The team that used to chase, there are not many people from that squad. We wanted to bat first and chase as well in this series. Because our middle order is fairly new. Happy with the series. Pretty much got everything we wanted. We do understand we are very young as a team. We are still a good chasing side, but a lot of the players are missing. It was pleasing to see guys bailing the team out from situations," Rohit told host broadcaster Star Sports at the post-match presentation.
