Trinidad: The second Test didn't end the way India had anticipated. A clean sweep was expected going into the final day in Trinidad with West Indies chasing an unlikely 289 and India needing to pick up eight wickets to win.
Rain, however, hindered India from adding to their Dominica innings triumph, and Day 5 of the second Test was called off, resulting in a tie.
India won the series 1-0, moving them into second place in the WTC points standings behind Pakistan, which took the lead in play.

Fans continued to be active on social media during the rain-delayed competition as they engaged in a meme fest over India captain Rohit Sharma, whose reaction in the dressing room on the last day went viral.
The rain-delayed contest left viewers frustrated during most of Day 4 and the entirety of Day 5.
It had already occurred while Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan were extending India's lead of more over 300 runs prior to the commencement of the 19th over.
When Rohit peeked his head out from between the window panes, the visitors were already on the 139 for two when the camera captured his expression of confusion.

As a batter in the West Indies Test series, Rohit did well. He recorded scores of 103 in the first Test, which India won in Dominica by an innings, then 86 and 57 in the two innings at Port of Spain. He was frustrated that the series hadn't been over with a 2-0 clean sweep, though.
