That's all from us folks! Hope you enjoyed this cracker from India. Until next them then ...

Here's what the players had to say -

Pollard: We will look to take positives from this game. At the end of the day, we knew where we faltered and it's work in progress for us now. It was gettable, we have chased a big total in 2016 here. When you look at the way Rahul and Rohit went about at the start, they took their time and then exploded. Yes, we are disappointed but we look to move on from here. There is a lot of emerging players coming through the ranks. Success is something you need to do day in and day out. Those are things we are working out. All is not lost, we still have 3 ODIs to play. We will look to stay positive.

Kohli (Man of the series): We had spoken a lot. It was about going out there and executing. I was in the zone and I carried on. Told KL, he needs to bat on and hold one end. It was a pretty special innings and also being our second wedding anniversary, it was a special gift. Batting first we won and feels really good. I know I can contribute in all three formats. I think two guys in the middle with clarity and the way Rahul and Rohit played today was the key today. Batting first, we have been too tight and hesitant, but this pitch allowed us to play freely. You don't really feel the pressure when you have 20-25 runs on the board.

Rahul (Man of the match): Both of them were in destructive mood today. Happy that we won the series and every game is important for us leading up to the T20 World Cup. It's obvious that our batting first record hasn't been that great. Today was a great opportunity and very happy that it came off. This will give a lot of confidence and now know what to do batting first. Each game will be important and a learning lesson for us before the World Cup. Like any other format, once you are set, you want to carry on and know what shots to play on. T20s has been kind and I try to do my best and give the results for the team.

Bhuvneshwar: Pollard is a good player when he gets going, so it was satisfying for me. When Pollard gets going, you know he can hit a lot of boundaries. It was satisfying to get him out. Can't bowl length balls to him. Need to bowl yorkers and bouncers. He is so powerful that if you miss even a bit, he'll punish you. In a night match, bowling second is tough. Difficult to grip the ball, and the ball also travels a lot here. Feeling good. When you do well in T20Is, it does feel good. Looking forward to the ODIs.
