Then, India declared their second innings after scoring 181 runs for two wickets and set a 365-run target for the home side. But, by the end of day four, they managed to score 76 runs for two wickets. Mohammed Siraj won the Player of the Match award. After that match got washed off, Rohit said: “Every win is different. Playing in West Indies or in India has its own challenge. I am very happy how things went here.” 

“Unfortunately we didn't get any play today... we actually went out with a positive intent yesterday, wanting to get a result. We were quite confident. We know how difficult it is batting last. We always wanted that kind of a score where the teams went for it. The opposition, sitting in the change room, should think we have a chance. The pitch didn't have much. The odd ball was turning from the rough patch, but there wasn't much as such,” he further added.

He also heaped high praises on Siraj for his bowling performance. “Siraj over the years has taken a giant step in his career, how he has led the attack in the absence of Bumrah and Shami... but you don't want to depend on one or two individuals. We have really good Test cricket, and I hope we can continue to do that,” Rohit Sharma concluded.
