"What an unforgettable & outstanding tour it's been!! Happy to have witnessed the historic victories by the men. HUGE congratulations (Team India). And so proud of you my love @imVkohli," she said in a tweet on Friday, 18 January.
India beat Australia 2-1 for their maiden bilateral ODI series triumph Down Under.
