New Delhi, Jan 20: Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar believes the three-match ODI series between India and Australia was a "battle of pride" in which Virat Kohli and men "hammered and bullied" the visitors.

After a thumping 10-wicket defeat in the first ODI in Mumbai, Team India came back strongly and registered comprehensive victories in the next two games in Rajkot and Bengaluru to clinch the series 2-1.
