Kohli’s knock of 85 runs off just 61 deliveries nearly helped India claim a clean-sweep in the T20I series. Despite losing the final T20I against Australia, Kohli felt that winning the series helps India end 2020 on a high. The skipper also spoke about how the presence of fans in the stadium impacted his team’s performance.

Virat Kohli also spoke about the narrow defeat in the third ODI. India looked to be cruising when Kohli and Dhawan were at the crease. But Australia bounced back in the second half of the innings, with Mitchell Swepson taking three wickets to peg India back.
Hardik Pandya and Virat Kohli still came close to pulling off an impossible chase, but ultimately, they fell just short. The former was named the Player of the Series for his excellent performances in the first two games. Playing as a specialist batsman, Pandya played a vital role in helping India win the series.
There have been rumours that Pandya could be a late inclusion in the Test squad, but the all-rounder said after the game that he would now head back home to be with his family.
India will next play Australia A in a tour match before the first Test gets underway in Adelaide on December 17th.
