SPD Smith: It's been a big run-scoring fest. Tonight was a masterclass in chasing. Pandey was brilliant, Rohit started well with Dhawan and Dhoni showed how he can hit the boundaries at the right time. Really proud of the boys, the way we have played in this series. It's a different format, a World Cup is round the corner. India are very strong in the T20 format, should be an exciting series.

MS Dhoni: We have been competitive in the series. The first four games were quite close which we didn't close down well. What's important is whenever you come for a tough series, it's important to back the youngsters. Where we have been hurt is the lower order batting. We still don't have a settled bowling line-up. This time we went with bowlers who can hit the deck hard. But can't just rely on pace. Can't afford to give 15-20 run overs. You have got a glimpse of what we will be seeing in the T20 series. The grounds here are pretty big, the throwing arms will be tested. Should be an exciting series.
Rohit Sharma: Not really frustrating, we won the game. Always disappointing to get out on 99 but winning matters more. I think over the course of the tournament we played good cricket. Just that we couldn't capitalize on the little moments. Every time you represent your country it's a proud moment, so we wanted to win today. You can say that I am in the form of my life in ODI cricket. Important to keep scoring the runs for my team.
Rohit Sharma is Man of the Series
Manish Pandey: The feeling is really good. Batting no. 4 was a massive chance as Ajju was injured. I thought to make use of it. Good to bat with Dhoni, always motivating words coming. The crowd is a massive boost for us .
Manish Pandey is Man of the Match for his unbeaten 104 runs.
India won by 6 wickets and Australia won the series with 4-1
