This result, added to the drubbing in the ODI series by the same margin, meant that West Indies did not win a single match in the limited overs tour of India.
However, Pollard said that they were close on more than a couple of occasions in the two series.
Speaking at the post-match press conference, he said:

“Had a good start with the bat but failed to capitalise” - Kieron Pollard
West Indies got off to a good start with the ball after electing to field at the toss, but a 91-run partnership between Suryakumar Yadav and Venkatesh Iyer saw India power through to a total of 184/5.
Speaking about their efforts with the ball, Kieron Pollard said:
Then, in their chase, West Indies lost two early wickets but did not let it slow them down, with Nicholas Pooran and Rovman Powell impressing once again, putting on a 47-run stand before Harshal Patel got the latter’s wicket.
While Pooran went on to hit his third consecutive half-century in the series, the Windies lost wickets at regular intervals at the other end until Romario Shepherd played a nifty cameo of 29 off 21.
Pooran eventually fell for 61 off 47 and some good death bowling meant the lower order was not able to chase down the target as the Caribbean outfit fell short by 17 runs in the end.
Speaking about their batting display, Pollard said:
Nicholas Pooran was undoubtedly West Indies’ greatest takeaway from the series, with the young gloveman hitting half-centuries in all the T20Is.
