Australia series was best: Rohit
Praising the highly competitive nature of the recently concluded four-Test series between India and Australia, fit-again batsman Rohit Sharma felt it was the best among the four home rubbers this season.
"The last series against the Australians was the best among the 3-4 series at home because of the way it went through from the first Test. Losing the first Test and then bouncing back to win two Test matches (to win the series 2-1) was a fantastic effort (by India)," said Sharma here today.
He insisted that although teams fought hard they never crossed the limits vis-a-vis player behaviour and felt incidents were blown out of proportion.
"India-Australia series have always seen good rivalry over the years and I was not surprised at what happened. When you play against a top side in the world, these things are bound to happen. As long as one remembers not to cross limits it's good.
"It was a hard-fought battle and some things were blown out of proportion. Players know what needs to be done on and off field," he concluded.
The series was bitterly fought and there was a lot of verbal duels indulged by both the teams' players right through the four-game rubber that ended with India's series triumph at Dharamsala last month-end.
