Australia surged into a June showdown against South Africa at Lord's with a six-wicket victory in the fifth Test against India in Sydney on Sunday.
The series was a real treat for cricket loving fans all over the world as there was no shortage of twist and turns in the five-match series.
"I'm immensely proud, I absolutely love playing with these guys and it's been a lot of fun along the way as well."
India set a target of 162, but despite losing three wickets in pursuit, Australia managed to reach 162/4, with Travis Head unbeaten on 34 and Beau Webster not out on 39.
“It's one thing to have a plan, but then to be able to execute that, the way that we have to Virat, (to) put him under immense pressure," said Australia men’s coach Andrew McDonald.
The acclaimed 37-year-old opener Rohit has had a poor series and the writing was on the wall when he failed to show up for India's pre-match press conference.
Walking out at 17/2, Kohli edged a delivery from Scott Boland towards Steve Smith at second slip, with Smith reaching low to his right. With the red Kookaburra wedged between his thumb and index finger, Smith went on to scoop the ball in the direction of Marnus Labuschagne - who caught the ball - before Kohli stood his ground.
Kohli had a huge left-off on his first ball and finally departed for 17, following KL Rahul (4), Yashasvi Jaiswal (10) and Shubman Gill (20) who were out before lunch.
Regular skipper and opener Rohit was "rested" for Sydney Test, India said, after failing to get past 10 runs in any of his five innings during the series, which Australia lead 2-1.
After being thumped by 295 runs in Perth, the hosts responded emphatically at Adelaide to wipe out Rohit Sharma's men inside three days and leave the five-match series evenly poised at 1-1.
The hosts won the day-nighter in Adelaide by 10 wickets to level the series 1-1 and with less than a week before they meet again at the Gabba, India are racing against the clock to fix what went wrong.
Smarting from their comprehensive defeat in the opening Test in Perth, Australia bounced back in style at Adelaide Oval, where they now have a perfect 8-0 record in pink ball tests following the 10-wicket win over India.
Head produced match-winning hundreds on both occasions when Australia beat India in the finals of the World Test Championship and the 50-overs World Cup last year.
The 35-year-old Boland will play his first Test since last year's Ashes in England when he fronts up for the pink ball match at the Adelaide Oval starting on Friday.
Webster was added to the squad following his recent good showing in red-ball cricket including the two-game series against India ‘A’.
Kohli, 36, came in for heavy criticism in the run-up to the Perth Test after scoring only 192 runs in his previous 10 innings and posting an average of 15.50 in India's three home test defeats by New Zealand.
Bumrah was named Player of the Match for his impressive figures of 5-30 and 3-42. Pat Cummins lauded his counterpart’s consistency, acknowledging Bumrah as one of the best bowlers in the world.
Bumrah stood in as captain for Rohit Sharma, who missed the opener due to the birth of his second child, leading the tourists to a stunning 295-run victory on day four.
At the break on day four, Australia were 104-5 with a defiant Travis Head not out 63 and Mitchell Marsh on five as they chase a near insurmountable 534 to win.
