Virat Kohli received a pat on his back from the Indian skipper and it became a heartwarming moment for fans. There were many takeaways from the game and one could only predict the number of memes that popped up right after the match.

However, towards the end of the match, when India posed for a photograph with the trophy, Virat Kohli closed his nose for one obvious reason.

"It's a special place. We have had great memories playing for India and when I played for Deccan Chargers as well. Biggest positive was different individuals stepping up and delivering. You feel good about it as a management. Margin of error in T20s is small. We took our chances, we were brave as well," Rohit Sharma said after the match.

"Sometimes it doesn't come off. There are areas to improve as well. Not easy coming back after a break against a tough team. They (Bumrah and Harshal) will take some time. Hopefully, they can get back into their groove in the next series," he concluded.

Memes, memories, the rise of Suryakumar Yadav, the prowess of Axar Patel and a lot to take home from the series. However, the Men in Blue are on a mission to the 20-20 World Cup 2022 and the team will look to move forward to the series against South Africa.
