India recorded their first ever two-sided series triumph on Australian soil as they secured the Twenty20 elastic by taking an unassailable 2-0 lead with an extensive 27-run triumph in the second match, riding on an inside and out show here today.
Put into bat, India depended on splendid innings by Rohit Sharma (60) and Virat Kohli (59), alongside a helpful 42 by opener Shikhar Dhawan, to post an imposing 184/3.

defending the target, the Indian bowlers set up a fine aggregate push to tear through Australia's center request and limit the hosts to 157/8 in 20 overs.
The Indians subsequently took a 2-0 lead in the three-match arrangement, which closes on Sunday in Sydney. This was India's first ever respective arrangement win Down Under. The Indians had before won a tri-series in 2007-08 and the Benson and Hedges World Championship in 1985.
The triumph is a wonderful turnaround for the Indians, who endured an embarrassing 1-4 catastrophe in the first ODI arrangement.
