Rohit Sharma, the stand-in skipper in the absence of Virat Kohli, predicted that this team India side has a bright future following their 3-0 whitewash against Windies in the three-match T20I series.

Meanwhile, India lost the plot in the end but held nerves to sweep Windies 3-0 following their six-wicket win at Chennai. Shikhar Dhawan got back his form at the right moment to gear up for the series against Australia. He stormed back to form with an unbeaten knock of 92 runs. Rishabh Pant also played a good hand with a swashbuckling knock of 58 runs off just 38 balls. However, Windies fought back at the end as they require one off the last ball, but India kept nerves to complete the whitewash.

Previously, Windies presented a much-better display with the bat for the first time as they posted 181 runs.

They scored just six off the first two overs, but Hetmyer helps the scoring rate with a few boundaries as they added 29 runs in the first four overs.

Yuzvendra Chahal, who made to the playing XI struck it the first ball with Hope miscuing one shot. Sundar comes under it and takes the catch perfectly. He does with it the first ball with Shai Hope miscuing one shot. Sundar comes under it and takes the catch correctly. Darren Bravo is the new man.

Chahal strikes once again to send Shimron Hetmyer back to the pavilion. The openers had set the platform as Darren Bravo, and Nicholas Pooran cashed into great effect. Pooran was the aggressor of the two as he remained unbeaten on 53 runs off just 25 balls.

Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma lauded the team for showing character. He also shared high praise for the young pacer Khaleel Ahmed.

Serious effort from the lads to clinch the series. Lots of character in the squad, future is bright. By the way this is ⁦⁦@imK_Ahmed13⁩ 3rd trophy raise #TeamIndia ⁦@BCCI⁩,” the tweet read.
