West Indies T20 captain Carlos Brathwaite has admitted that the 0-3 whitewash was indeed "embarrassing", but said the fight they had shown with limited resources was the "hallmark" for the visitors in the just-concluded series.

India defeated reigning world champions West Indies by six wickets in the final T20 here on Sunday night to clean sweep the three-match series.

"I mean, three-nought looks bad, and it looks embarrassing for me as captain as well. But the performances and fight we gave and the fact that we came together to use our resources to the best of our abilities was the hallmark for this short series for me," Brathwaite said at the post-match press conference.

"The team morale is up. What we are doing as a group is trying to find the best to use the resources we have. In the first game, we showed our fight, we showed our belief with the ball," he said.

"In the second game, we were blown away, and in the third game we batted excellently, but the game was taken away from us by a massive partnership. We still fought till the end."
"So massive credit to Nicholas who missed the first game, didn't get a start in the second but he was always positive and. As a team, we want that performance again from him."
"We had back-to-back games, we didn't start as well as we wanted and by the time we got into the tour we had lost the series. So if we can get this performance into Bangladesh's first game of the series, then we can look to come out on top there."
