Happy with the series, We are still a good chasing side: Rohit Sharma
During the post-match presentation, Team India captain Rohit Sharma said, “Happy with the series. Pretty much got everything we wanted. We do understand we are very young as a team.

Good sign moving forward as a group and something to be proud of.”
