Dhoni's 87 not out (Melbourne, 2019):

This was one series in which captain Dhoni's bat just couldn't stop scoring runs. After playing knocks of 51 and 55 not out in the first two matches, it was the big finale at the MCG on January 18. Indian bowlers came out with a good performance as they bowled out Australia for 230 in 48.4 overs.

While it seemed from the previous match's batting performance, the chase would be a cakewalk. But India lost both openers with 59 runs on the board by the 17th over. However, Kohli and Dhoni tried to steer India's ship and took the team's total to 113 before the latter went back to the pavilion after scoring 46.

The Australians sensed an opportunity to take control of the game following Kohli's departure. However, Dhoni, along with Kedar Jadhav, took the innings forward and ensured the team chase down the target with four balls to spare. While Dhoni remained not out on 87, a 114-ball knock studded with six boundaries, Jadhav supported him well until the end and remained unbeaten on 61 -- and help India end the historic tour on a grand note.
