Team India outclassed West Indies in all departments of the game to register a thumping 119-run victory (DLS method) in the third and final ODI at Queen's Park Oval, Trinidad on Wednesday (July 27).

In a rain-marred affair, the visitors posted 225/3 on the board in 36 overs and then bundled out the hosts for a paltry 137 in 26 overs.

With this victory, the Men in Blue clinched the ODI series 3-0 despite the absence of key players such as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah.

After the series win, India’s stand-in captain Shikhar Dhawan once again led the celebrations in the dressing room. While Dhawan asked "who are we?", the players responded with chants of "champions."

Here’s the video:

In the clip, head coach Rahul Dravid congratulated the young team for their terrific performance under pressure.

"We came here with a really young team. A lot of the guys who played in the England series didn't play here. The way you guys responded and played in the three games, the level of professionalism, couple of tight games, we discussed those, to get on the right side of the high-pressure games, some terrific performances under pressure, it was really a great sign," Dravid said.

Skipper Dhawan also thanked the support staff and the team members for living up to the expectations.

"First of all as a team, we would like to thank the support staff and all the team members who have helped us. We really appreciate your support. Well done, boys, you did well in the batting as well as the bowling unit. You guys were amazing. Whatever we discussed before the series, that we are a process-oriented team. You guys are young and have the vision to achieve much bigger things. You are brave. You have already started taking those steps. I am sure you guys are going to go a long way. Before I end this talk, I would like everyone to stand up and come close...I will say - "Who are we?" and we all will shout - "Champions," Dhawan said as the team got into a huddle to rejoice the series victory.
