Player Of Match Quote16:12 Local Time, 20:12 GMT, 01:42 IST: India were the favourites and the script hasn't changed much. They have clinched this by 318 runs. But can't say effortlessly because it took a patient 81 from under-fire Rahane to dig India out of a hole. And then Windies dug themselves a pit by throwing their wickets and throwing away the chance to take a lead. Day 3 was about consolidation and Kohli-Rahane partnership did so to put India well ahead. Day 4 had two parts — acceleration and decimation. India did well to put up a target of 419 and then the Indian troika of pacers blew the Windies team away. Bumrah led the charge with a fifer. And the support acts were well enacted by Ishant and Shami. Windies were 50 for 9 but Roach decided to have fun and that helped them toe the three figure mark. Hang on for the presentations. My Man of the Match would be Rahane. But let's see who takes the award.
