The 38-year-old fronted the post-match press conference at the Gabba with captain Rohit Sharma where he revealed it would be his "last day as an Indian cricketer in all formats at the international level".

"I've had a lot of fun; I've created a lot of memories alongside Rohit and several of my other teammates, even though I have lost some of them [from the India team] over the last few years. We're the last bunch of OGs, if we can say that, left out in the dressing room, and I will be marking this as my date of having played at this level.
