India win by seven wickets with four balls to spare and clinch the series 2-1. MS Dhoni does it again. He left it late but he and Kedar Jadhav panicked last and got it done with an unbeaten 121-run partnership to see India home.

Australia had their chances, but fluffed them. Dropped catches, run out chances missed.. these are traits that aren't usually associated with Australia. But such has been this tour. India have dominated across formats, have undoubtedly been the better team, and deservedly have been crowned winners.

If Cheteshwar Pujara silenced doubters about his ability outside the subcontinent in the Test series, MS Dhoni has done the same in the ODIs to those questioning his age and role in this young Indian outfit. No doubt after this performance that he has a place in this Indian ODI side.

Australia have some ominuos signs ahead of the World Cup. No doubt, they will shored up by the return of certain players by then, but their issues run a lot deeper.

Right then. Presentation time.

Yuzvendra Chahal is Man of the Match for his six wickets. "This is my first game in Australia, the wicket was turning a bit and I was enjoying my bowling. I was able to plan and bowl slow and vary my pace. Before he World Cup, we have a big series coming up in New Zealand and I'm looking forward to that."

Yum-es-Dhoni is Player of the Series. "It was a slow wicket, so it was difficult to hit whenever you wanted to. It was important to take it deep. No point going after the bowlers hwo are doing well, so that was the gameplan, of course supported brilliantly by Kedar, who plays unorthodox shots. Whether I play at 4 or 6, we need to see if the team balance can be retained. Important thing is for me to bat where the team needs, I'm happy to bat lower down at 6."

"We took it down to the wire, but when you give great players a couple of chances, it's always tough," says losing captain Aaron Finch. "The way the boys gave everything.. yes, we did put down chances, but they gave it their all. Their batting in the first couple of games was very good."

"It wasn't an easy wicket to bat on, so it was important to take the game deep," says Virat Kohli. "Two set batsmen there who knew what to do and they got the job done. Kuldeep had played a few games, so you don't want to make things too predictable. So we brought on Yuzvendra Chahal, and he played beautifully. We've been here a long time, it's been an amazing tour. We drew the T20 series, won the Test series and now the ODIs. If you had given me these results before the tour, I would have gladly taken it."

Alright then. That finally brings us to the end of this long, and engrossing tour of Australia. Easily India's best, and most successful tour ever, across formats. India have sent out some great teams in Australia in the past, produced great performances from great players, and pushed Australia. But never before have they dominated them in the manner they have on this tour. They had their stars in each of the three legs, but the team has pulled its weight together, and when that happens, you succeed more often than not.

Sterner tests await in New Zealand, where India play ODIs and T20Is. Australia will then be eager to fight back and set right this tour when they visit India for a limited-overs series. But before then, they will have to deal with Sri Lanka in a bunch of Tests.
