What next
The teams have moved on to a Twenty20 series, which began in Lucknow on 6 October with an Indian win built on a Shreyas Iyer century.
For India’s one-day side, the series showed formidable batting depth with the veterans Rohit and Kohli still scoring heavily, and raised questions about a bowling attack that conceded more than 350 twice.
