India vs Australia 3rd ODI: India beat Australia by 13 runs to avoid clean sweep

I thought we fought really well. It was a great partnership between Hardik and Jadeja. If we got one of those wickets, we could have chased 240 max. Agar bowled beautifully, it was a good day in terms of the changes we made. The impact that the two spinners are having, that's important.

We were put under the pump in the first half and in the second half of Australia's innings. Shubman and others in the team, it brings in a bit freshness. I think the pitch was much better for the bowlers. So the confident goes up. Playing international cricket for so long, that's the challenge you face. We were clinical with the ball and in the field. Happy with the performance and hopefully we take the momentum forward. I would have liked to go on for a bit longer, but it was a great partnership between Pandya and Jadeja.

They have been close back to back games. A good series of cricket against a quality outfit. I think it did a more with the new ball. The quicks bowled well upfront, it was a bit different as compared to the SCG. You just get to keep going forward and take the confidence. Hopefully I'll contribute in the upcoming games. Don't have any plan at the moment, hopefully a day off.

I will be fine to play the T20Is. I have been working hard to play for my country, happy that I've got the opportunity. Really happy for Natarajan and rest of the bowlers. It's been quite a story for him. You need to be on your toes when it comes to playing against Australia. You got to push hard and face the challenge against them.

All-rounder Hardik Pandya has been adjudged Man of the Match for his magnificent 92 not out.

India will now take on Australia in the three-match T20I series, starting December 4.
