Sundar, Hardik, Samson and Manish also expressed their joy of finishing on a high.
India won the last ODI and the first two T20I matches to end the white-ball leg on a high. The vice-captain for this white-ball leg, KL Rahul revealed the inspiration for this amazing comeback, saying the team decided to take a new approach towards the remaining games after the loss in the first two ODI matches.
“It's never easy coming to Australia and losing two games and having to make a comeback. What we spoke after the first two one-dayers was that we are going to treat the rest of the four games as a new series and try and win those four games,” Rahul said.

Rahul also added that India was tested in every aspect of the game by the Australians.
"This ODI and T20s has been a learning curve for all of us. We were challenged in every game and it was important that we stick together as a group and keep believing in each other. We hope that we can improve and keep getting better as individuals and also a team," he said in a video posted on BCCI's Twitter handle.
Meanwhile, it was a brilliant outing for all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who played as a specialist batsman. He excelled in the ODIs and T20Is and was named the Player of the series in the T20I series. He dedicated the award to his son Agastya, who was born in July this year.

"Special mention of Natarajan as well. Coming from that kind of background, seen a lot of hardships. It has been a fantastic journey, with lots of inspiration people can get from him. His success shows anyone can achieve anything if you believe in yourself," he praised T Natarajan.
Washington Sundar, Sanju Samson, and Manish Pandey, who will return to India, also shared their joy on ending the white-ball series on a high.

Sanju Samson said, "We fought back really well after the two ODI losses. Great heart shown by everyone, the way we came back. Everyone is performing, everyone is in a great mindset after the challenging IPL. Everyone is two-and-half months out of their homes, spending time in the bubble and coming here I think it's really challenging."
Manish Pandey praised Hardik and Natarajan and said, "They (Australia) were playing really well in the One-Day series but we came back well in the T20s. The guys have done really well, specially man-of-the-series Hardik and Natarajan. Really proud to go back on a winning note from here.”
