Not a cakewalk by any means
While it is fair to say that West Indies are nowhere near the side that ruled the world a few decades ago, they have shown time and again that at home, they can compete with the best. They might have lost to Australia convincingly in their last tour down under but at home last year, they gave them a fright before surrendering the advantage and drew 1-1 against an impressive England side at home.
So while there might have been a few that would have predicted a whitewash, the fact that no Indian captain had ever won two matches in a series before merely highlighted the difficulty of the task at hand. After winning the first Test comfortably, those dreams of a whitewash returned.
But a combination of rain, some rear-guard resistance from the West Indies and some resilience from both the batsmen and the bowlers meant that the series wasn't as easy as some might have thought. On pitches that don't offer massive amounts of help to the bowlers, taking 20 wickets isn't easy unless you have help from the opponents, which was evident the longer the series went on.
