Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday. "Brilliant batting by Rohit & Kohli and some excellent bowling by Shami11. The grit #TeamIndia showed to come back to win the series after losing the 1st game was just amazing to see.Congratulations on the series win against a very good Aussie team. #INDvAUS," Sachin wrote on Twitter.

Meanwhile, Ajinkya Rahane also joined in to praise India for their performance against Australia and tweeted: "Great win boys! #INDvAUS." In the third and final affair, Rohit scored 119 while Kohli was dismissed 11 runs away from his 44th ton as India hunted down the target with 15 balls to spare. Earlier, Steve Smith led an underwhelming effort from the Australians with the bat with his ninth ODI ton as they finished their innings on 286/9.
