India on Monday recorded their biggest Test series win on the Caribbean soil with a 2-0 victory over the West Indies following a washout in the fourth match but ended up losing the number one spot in the ICC rankings, here.
Only 22 overs of play was possible on the opening day of the final Test match, which turned out to be the third shortest ever Test match in the history of longer format.
For the fourth successive day, not a single ball could be bowled, forcing the umpires to call off the match.
India required to win the series against the West Indies 3-0 to retain the number one spot but inclement weather along with deplorable drainage facility at the Queens Park Oval prevented play.
West Indies were 62 for 2 in those 22 overs of play. The worst part was that WICB and local authorities did not pay heed to proper drainage and recovery facilities.
The groundsmen also did not cover the entire field after a heavy downpour which led to the bowlers' run-up being very soggy and it could not be dried up.
The other inexplicable factor was absence of a Super sopper, which is a mandatory feature in all top international cricket ground across the globe.
For India, Virat Kohli with 251 runs including a maiden double hundred was the top-scorer.
