Speaking at the post-match presentation ceremony, the all-rounder slammed the West Indies cricket board for the lack of facilities during the team's stay in the region.
Hardik said that while the team doesn't "ask for luxuries", he hopes that the 'basics' need to be taken care of when they tour the Caribbean side the next time.
The Indian team arrived in West Indies for a tour that consisted of two Tests, threeODIs and five T20Is.
The Indian cricketers had earlier expressed their displeasure to BCCI after their late-night flight from Trinidad to Barbados got delayed by nearly four hours, leaving them sleep-deprived ahead of the ODI series opener.
In the final ODI, India were always ahead after making an imposing 351 for five after being asked to bat first.
India got off to a bright start thanks to Shubman Gill, who struck 85 off 92 balls and, along with in-form Ishan Kishan (77 off 64 balls), set the platform for a massive score.
Sanju Samson (51 off 41 balls) made a compelling case to be picked as a reserve middle-order batter while Hardik smashed five sixes and four boundaries on a good batting strip.
The chase was always highly unlikely for the West Indies and Mukesh Kumar's three-wicket burst with some quality seam bowling in the first Powerplay dashed the West Indies' hopes as they were shot out for 151 in only 35.3 overs.
