Virat Kohli: Unbelievable feeling. I think this was the best series win we have had so far. The way the guys handled situations and the way Ajinkya captained was amazing. The changes made to out fitness regime has paid off I guess. In the past we might have given away the game in a few sessions, but the way we fought was amazing. There has not been one of two individuals that have stood, it's been a team season. Lot of credit has to go to all the boys. The kind of fitness they have showed and the desire to win was brilliant to watch. It is still a few weeks to go for me to be 100 percent on the field (talking about his shoulder injury).

Ravindra Jadeja: Feels better than average to be the No. 1 bowler. Truly glad to be a piece of this No. 1 group. When I was batting, I was simply believing that I will take as much time as necessary, however whatever Wade twittered from behind the stumps propelled me. To create by and large as a player regarded find in me. From one end Ashwin takes wickets, at time I take wickets from one end. So the weight is dependably there. Great to bowl with him. Ideally we will do well outside India also. I am exceptionally sure now and I will attempt and make a hundred. It was a decent wicket for quick bowlers in light of the ricochet and crease development. Umesh and Bhuvi more likely than not liked rocking the bowling alley first.
Steve Smith: It was a great series, likely one of the best I have been a piece of up until this point. Credit to India, they are a fabulous side. It was an incredible expectation to absorb information for us. The way we adjusted to these conditions was fabulous. That center session where we lost for five for 70 odd had the effect. I thought India knocked down some pins especially well yesterday, particularly Umesh Yadav. We have most likely neglected a couple of minutes, you can't do that against a quality outfit like India. We have learnt a considerable measure. It is a standout amongst the most beautiful grounds. It was a decent wicket here. I have been quite exceptional all through the series. I most likely let my feelings assume control now and again and I apologize for that. [ Also See: Scorecard of India vs Australia ]
KL Rahul: This series has shown me a great deal. After the Pune Test I couldn't play the top dogs, that was a major confinement. Nothing else matters than a Test series win against Australia. I took a couple thumps, yet all I was revealing to myself it was alright to a couple hits for my group. The way Jinks turned out and began hitting sixes was astonishing. It is one of the best Test matches and Test series we have been a piece of.
Cheteshwar Pujara: We had a phenomenal series, particularly after a frustrating first Test. We needed to win it 3-1, however we won it 2-1 and we are exceptionally cheerful. We have been having associations from the Bangalore Test coordinate. I was disclosing to KL that he was getting himself out, particularly after the Bangalore test, instead of the bowlers getting him out. Not by any stretch of the imagination (when inquired as to whether he needed a break after an extraordinary season). I might even now want to continue onward if there were a couple matches. I truly delighted in this specific season.
NDIA WIN THE MATCH BY EIGHT WICKETS! O'Keefe hurls this one around off, Rahul cuts it through mid-wicket for a couple. Oddly enough, he returns for the third and finishes it. Think they didn't know about what number of runs they needed. It doesn't make a difference however as the festivals started. Australia are extremely benevolent in the thrashing as David Warner embraces Indian commander Ajinkya Rahane and compliments him. Great to see that an series which had its share of debates closures on such a note.
What a win for India! The players are on the field to praise the win. Handshakes all around. 13 recreations in the home season however India will realize this was effectively the best series win for them. A considerable measure has been stated, discussed in the media about both the skippers, teams and strategies however toward the end, we as a whole have seen one incredible Test series with both groups contending energetically.
Requiring 87 hurries to win today, Indian openers turned out with positive plan. Lokesh Rahul contributed with an energetic fifty, going out on a limb. India lost two wickets in an over and it appeared as though we may have more contorts in the story yet out came the India captain and hit an antagonistic 27-ball 38 to guarantee the hosts won and the series by 2-1.
