India captain Virat Kohli on Wednesday said the consolation win over Australia in the third and final ODI was a timely "boost" for the remainder of the tour, made possible by the freshness that came with a changed squad.

India, who made four changes going into the game, got past Australia by 13 runs to pick up a win after losing the series. India will next take on the hosts in three T20Is (starting Friday) followed by four Tests (starting December 17).
