Australia get on the victor's podium and celebrate the series win. A few jumps in joy, lots of smiles, nice scenes. And that will be it from the series too. What a pleasure it was to bring it with Alex Malcolm, our scorers for the day, Chandan Duroah and Thilak Ram, and everyone involved in the coverage here on Cricinfo. Hope to see you for the T20Is. Alright, thank you.

Sanjeev: "When is India's next ODI assignment?" On Nov 30, against South Africa

Mitchell Marsh, Australia captain We've seen Rohit and Virat do that over 10 years against lots of teams. We needed one more stand in the back-end of our first inns. Had a great platform at 3-195. Couldn't cash in. India too good with bat. I think the experienced guys who came into the side - Renshaw, Ellis, et al - we can be proud of winning the series after two games.

Shubman Gill, India captain We had a near-perfect game. Pulled things back in the middle overs. Chase was pleasing to see. Our spinners contained in the middle and pacers took key wickets. Harshit's bowled fast in the middle overs, we need that quality. Rohit, Kohli have done it for so many years. Delight to watch. Special win (first as ODI captain) on a special ground.

Rohit Sharma, POTM and POTS: You expect tough conditions in Australia. Quality bowlers. Gotta understand things and try your best. Haven't played for a long time, good prep. Slightly confident coming in. We couldn't win the series - will still take a lot of positives. Young side, there will be a lot of learnings for them. When I came into the squad, I remember how seniors helped us, it's now our job to do the same. Never easy playing in Australia, just abroad. We need to share our experience, help them create game plans. I still go back to basics in Australia all these years. It's something I need to pass on. I love playing in Australia in general. I've had a decent memory in SCG - great pitch, ground and crowd. I love doing what I do and hope to continue to do that.

Ahmed Basravi : "Indian fans and Australians alike will thank and miss Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma as their cricketing suns set for Down Under."

Azweer : "It's bye-bye "Ro-Ko" from Down under. "

Abinash Das: "Indian fans are not only relieved with the fact that Ro-ko found their mojo but also that all retirement rumours have been put to rest rather clinically."

Virat Kohli Good to be out of the pond. The game shows you something even at this stage. It's so challenging when things aren't going your way. Situations in the middle get the best out of me. Easy to bat with Rohit, glad it was a match-finishing stand. From early on, we understood the game well. That's how you become successful. Even back in the day, we thought we could take games away from the opposition. It all started in 2013 vs Australia, in the ODIs at home. They also know that games are sealed if we batted 20 overs together. We've loved coming to this country, played some of our best. You guys have been brilliant, he says to the crowd.

Rohit Sharma: Always love coming here and playing here. Fond memories of 2008. Don't know if we'll be coming back to Australia. We enjoy our cricket no matter what accolades we achieve. We started afresh in Perth. That's how I look at things. Rohit thanks Australia in the end.

9.12pm Masterful from Rohit and Kohli. They mow down Australia's paltry total with 11.3 overs to spare and nine wickets in hand. They were hardly troubled. Rohit was magnificent with his 33rd ODI century and Kohli finished with 74 not out and went second on the all-time ODI runscorers list behind only Sachin Tendulkar. Ekanth will step in for the presentation.
