Sakshi Dhoni was delighted after India's win and why not? After all, it was MS Dhoni, her husband who played a major role in India's 2-1 series win.

She wrote, "Historical victory by Men in Blue .Huge Congratulations!! You guys have made country proud! Fought like a soldier long and hard ????????❤️ @msdhoni ???????? Sweet Victory ! Keep it Going !".

Dhoni put up a partnership of 121 runs with Kedar and guided India home. The former India captain played an unbeaten knock of 87 runs. This was Dhoni's third consecutive half-century in the series.

With the ball, Yuzvendra Chahal's 6 for 42 bamboozled Australia at the MCG. Australia could only put up a score of 230 and were bowled out inside fifty overs. India chased it down with 7 wickets in hand.

The Indian wicket-keeper batsman finished as the second highest run-getter in the series with 193 runs. He was named as the man of the series as well.

Luck also favored Dhoni as he was dropped by Glenn Maxwell on zero and later in the 48th over by Aaron Finch with India needing 27 runs in last three overs.
