QUOTE HANGER

'The overall team morale is good. It's important to have good dressing room atmosphere and guys back each other and enjoy each other's success.

"Whenever I needed them they were there, whether I needed a batsman or a bowler [to perform]. So I dedicate this win to my teammates. Hopefully, we will continue to win more tournaments.

India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni after winning the ODI series.
