Chasing a target of 155, India made 158-4 in 31.2 to rout Australia in the fourth and final Test with two days remaining at Feroz Shah Kolta ground in Delhi on Sunday.
India raced to victory with opener Chesteshwar Pujara (below) smashing an unbeaten 82 off 92 balls with 11 boundaries.
He was associated in a 104-run stand for the second wicket Kohli (41) who departed with India needing 32 for victory.

With Border-Gavaskar Trophy. What a feeling 4-0 . Wooooowwwww!!! tweeted Ojha (@pragyanojha)
Australia's seventh loss in a row in India which is their worst performance away since losing six in a row in South Africa from 1967-1974.
"Credit goes to every one, the last one and a half years has not been great for us in Tests, but they showed a lot of character. You need to battle it out. That was the case in this series," said Indian skipper Dhoni who is the first Test captain to win a Test series 4-0 despite losing all the tosses.
"I think it was an important series for us, there were a few changes in the side. It was up to the individuals to rise up and do well," he said as they take an international before regrouping for the Champions League.
"It was a hard fought Test, going into the game this is what I asked of the team. We gave it everything we had. We were up for it, but unfortunately things did not go according to plan with the ball in the second innings. We always thought 150-200 on that wicket if we bowled well was going to be enough ... as I said we just did not bowl as we wanted. Pujara batted very nicely to take it away from us," said Australia's stand-in captain Shane Watson.
"This is really as foreign as you get to playing cricket for an Australian cricket team. It's been a great learning curve for all of us. everyone has got a hell of a lot out of this tour," he added when asked about the surfaces in India.
Jadeja who was adjudged man of the match for his all-round performance said: "I did well in this game. the wicket helped the spinners so I was bowling well. Just wanted to get as many as possible. Unfortunately I didn't score much runs with the bat, but I bowled well in the series."
Ashwin (below) was adjudged man of the series for taking 29 wickets in four Tests.
"Everything has gone pretty well, there were a few changes I had to make after the England series. Very happy at how it has come out. I had to work on my delivery stride, I had to work on it. We had very little time, I was lucky to have a coach to identified it pretty quickly," said Ashwin.
