Rohit did have a fruitful Test series as a batter in West Indies. He scored 103 in the first Test where India won by an innings in Dominica and notched up 86 and 57 in the two innings at the Port of Spain. However, he was left disappointed at not having ended the series with a 2-0 clean sweep.
“Every win is different. Playing in WI has its own challenge. Happy with the way things went. We gave it a good shot, unfortunately we couldn’t get any play today. We actually went out with a positive intent yesterday. Rain had its final say. We were quite confident. You know how difficult it is batting last. We always wanted that kind of score where we wanted the opposition to go for it. There wasn’t much on the surface. No play today, unfortunate for us,” he said in the post-match presentation.
