Opening the series for their sides, David Warner and Aaron Finch couldn’t make it big for their side, the second time in a row as they both were sent back to the pavilion early in the game. However, Steve Smith was still there, absorbing all the pressure. He gave a stunning performance and smashed 131 runs off 132 balls, smashing the balls to all the corners of the ground, hitting 14 balls and 1 six. Unfortunately, his century wasn’t able to help his side win the series.

Brilliant batting by @ImRo45 & @imVkohli & some excellent bowling by @MdShami11. The grit #TeamIndia showed to come back to win the series after losing the 1st game was just amazing to see.

Tuesday night: @ViratKohli had numerous headaches- Loss by 10wkts, his batting at 4, no 6th bowler, injury to key players.
4 nights later: The whole cricketing world has a headache- how does one beat this team India in India. #INDvAUS

Don’t recall even a split second when India looked hurried or bothered in this run chase! @imVkohli and @ImRo45 were clinical and ruthless both and a 287-run target has never looked as EASY – this, when most would have fretted over the injury to @SDhawan25 ????????? #INDvAUS

Lost three tosses. Lost the first game comprehensively. Bounced back to win the series. Two must-win games back to back. Style and substance. Well done, Team India ???? #IndvAus
