Australia won by 4 runs (D/L Method) and lead the series with 1-0

Virat Kohli (IND): Lot of Indians came into support us which is always the case anywhere we play. It was a close game, exciting one for the crowd to watch and for the players as well. Was a see-saw battle. Started well with the bat, fumbled in the middle overs, in the end we thought we'll win with Pant and Karthik but it changed again with Pant's dismissal. He's a very strong player at the top of the order. Hasn't got a T20 hundred yet, but the way he plays it really benefits the team. That's how it goes in the game. What we can do is learn from them and get back better. On the day, if we can have three-four guys to stand up for the team, that's what we want. Don't have much time to think of things, which can be a good thing as well as a bad thing.

Aaron Finch (AUS): Thought the boys played really well, especially in the middle overs with the bat. Never been my strong point at school (maths). He's been practicing a lot. Going with three frontline quicks, and one all-rounder in Stoinis, he did it beautifully.

Adam Zampa is the Man of the Match
