That is it from tonight. The two teams will face each other at Melbourne for the second T20I. It is scheduled to begin at 1408 IST on 29th January. Do join us for that, until then, goodbye and stay safe.
MS DHONI says he thinks it was a good game, they batted really well, they got those extra runs. Adds that if you see the Aussie batting lineup, when chasing the game you have to take wickets. Also says that they want to win as a team and the start provided by Rohit was well capitalized by Virat and Raina. Also says that bowling was superb, which he thinks was crucial over here. Ends by saying that it will be good if Pandya keeps performing like this, it will give stability to the side which it desperately needs.
FINCH said that they let themselves down in the field. Remarks that it was obviously an unbelievable innings by Virat, however, they backed themselves to chase but it wasn't to be. Ends by saying that everyone is practicing hard and training hard, they will get back to Melbourne and work harder again.
VIRAT KOHLI WON THE MAN OF THE MATCH. On playing well at this venue, he replies that he could take the stadium with him everywhere. Also says that he is trying to keep things simple in all the formats, that is something he believes in. Ends by saying that he loves playing here and would like to thank the Indian fans for the support.
The spinners did well too as Jadeja and Ashwin took two wickets each. Pandya was expensive but he came back well to take two wickets on debut. In the end, the score made by India proved to be too much. Virat's 90 really helped the team to get to the big total. This win will surely give confidence to the team as a whole as well. For the Aussies, the batting did not click. Only Finch played well to get to 44 runs but even that was a slow inning. They will look to do better in the next match.
Great show from the Indian team. Everyone contributed in one way or another for this victory. A win on Republic Day, surely will make every Indian proud. India have successfully defended the total. Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of the bowlers as he took 3 wickets for 23 runs.
