Australia captain Pat Cummins: “It has been an amazing series, it has been in the calendar for a while, one you’ve had your eye on it for a year or two. It has lived up to all the hype.

“I am immensely proud, we have spent a lot of time together as a group over the years. We knew we were not at our best at Perth, but it is never as bad as it seems. We doubled down on what makes us a good side, and had a lot of fun along the way as well.

“We talk about needing a squad, especially in these five-match series, you rarely play the same 11. Three debutants came in and contributed at different times, it feels like we are building something nice.

“There were some key moments from some of our mainstays who really stood up, and you need that to beat a side like India and in those key moments those guys put their hands up.”

India captain Jasprit Bumrah: “There are lots of ifs and buts. The whole series was well fought and today as well we were in the game, so it was not like it was totally one-sided.

“This is how Test cricket goes in those moments when whatever team holds their nerve for the longest time, sticks together and tries to find a way out of that will win the series.

“It was a great series, congratulations to Australia, they fought really well for a well-deserved win.”
