It was the time when a young and aspiring Indian team under the leadership of Sourav Ganguly was growing stronger day by day. Yuvraj was a huge value addition to the squad.
Natarajan had posed for a photograph with two trophies which has become one of the iconic scenes for the Indian cricket fans from Australia and pride and inspiring moments for cricket aspirants.
In the choice of award or true sportsmanship, Pandya had chosen true sportsmanship and he won the hearts after handing over the Player of the Series award to Natarajan.
Green had made his debut in that match and revealed he was nervous when he walked in to bat but Rahul was very kind enough to share encouraging words in welcoming him to the game.
With the splendid performances from Natarajan and Chahal, they had won the hearts as the Indian fans have been hailing the bowlers and commending their performances through social media.
Speaking at the post-match presentation ceremony, Virat Kohli said, "Happy with the performances, and hopefully, we take the momentum forward. The win was crucial for us as the team needed that kind of boost.
Natarajan's induction had come at the right time when Team India was pushed to fix the bowling line-up after losing the two consecutive matches and the series to the host.
India will be meeting the host for the third and final ODI to Canberra on December 2. Following the ODI series, India and Australia will be playing three T20 matches and four tests.
"The key to winning games is picking up wickets, that is something we were not able to do, also lapses in the field were also a reason why we couldn't capitalize on any kind of momentum", Kohli added.
