Victory, completed with more than seven overs to spare, gave India a 2-1 series success after they won the preceding Twenty20 campaign against 50-over world champions England by the same scoreline.

The India skipper said the side will look to focus on the bench strength. "We've got some solid guys sitting on the bench who've been waiting to get a game. Want to create that bench strength (ahead of T20 World Cup). "Injuries are bound to happen, have to manage workload, so need to build bench strength. Have got some solid guys who will get their opportunity in the West Indies," Rohit said at the post-match presentation ceremony.
