India had lost the ODI series 2-3 at home the last time Australia toured India in March 2019 and that loss hurt Kohli because it was a depleted Australian side, which made this series win all the sweeter.
“We just want to go upwards and onwards. Getting one back given that we lost the series at home last year is really satisfying,” he further added.

Having already lost a batsman of the caliber of Shikhar Dhawan due to injury, Kohli knew that he had to bat sensibly with Rohit Sharma once Rahul’s wicket fell. Both showed in their approach why they are termed world-class batsmen.
Rohit smashed a brilliant 119 while Kohli made 89 before Shreyas Iyer and Manish Pandey applied finishing touches to what was a fantastic Indian win. India now travel to New Zealand for a long tour which will have the T20I series beginning from January 24.
