The Indian cricket team became the second nation after Sri Lanka to win two T20I series in Australia, with the Sri Lankan team winning three consecutive from 2010 to 2017. 

The visitors had sealed the T20I series after winning the second match at the SCG by six wickets. 

Their new skipper Matthew Wade started with a bang, reaching his fifty off just 25 balls. However, India came back and pulled things to restrict Australia less than 200, which in the end wasn't enough.

Chasing 195, Team India (195/4) got past the target, with Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya playing crucial knocks.

Here's a look at the records broken at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Glenn Maxwell (22) hit two sixes and has now slammed 84 sixes and surpassed Shane Watson's tally (83).
