#1 Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul's fearless approach set the tone
To be very honest, India haven't yet nailed down the art of batting first in a T20 game. But against West Indies in Mumbai, there was a visible change in their approach.
It was fearless batting from the two openers as they destroyed the visitors' bowling attack. Rohit Sharma in particular never let anyone settle; he was the man who hit the West Indies spinners into orbit, while KL Rahul held up the other end.
It was India's different approach to batting first that won them the game. The home side learned their lessons from the second T20 and they knew that on a great batting wicket like the Wankhede, they would need at least 200 runs to keep the West Indies batting lineup in check.
That was exactly what they did. India executed their plans to perfection and thoroughly deserved the series win.
It's on to the one-day series now, which starts from the 15th of December in Chennai.
