Team India missed an opportunity to clean-sweep the West Indies after rain denied them on Day 5 of the 2nd Test match at the Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain in Trinidad on Monday. The Indian skipper Rohit Sharma was happy with India’s series win against West Indies and also revealed India’s positive mindset on a dead wicket on Day 4.
The 36-year-old acknowledged that the squad was confident of winning the Test match on Day 5, but the weather prevented them from doing so. It also cost them their place in the ongoing World Test Championship (WTC) points standings, allowing Pakistan to claim the top spot following their first-test victory over Sri Lanka. India is currently second on the list, with their next campaign beginning in December against South Africa.
