BRISBANE: It was a story of all's well that ends well for Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni as he described the tour of Australia as "the best" in his cricket career after the Men in blue clinched their first-ever tri-series victory.
"This is the best tour I have been on. It cannot get better than this as we played the world's top two teams Sri Lanka and Australia and then beating them to win convincingly in two successive finals," said Dhoni.
The one-day captain, who had also led India to Twenty20 World Cup glory last year, said the win was specially significant for his young team.
"It is a building up stage for my team with most of the young blood in the absence of the seniors," he said and gave credit to the youngsters for proving their detractors wrong.
The youngsters had come under fire after India failed miserably in their one-off Twenty20 game against Australia immediately after the Test series and before the tri-series.
"After the Twenty20 game pressure was on us, especially on our batting but we improved.
We were enjoying each others' successes and this was a very important factor," he said. He also gave credit to seniors like Sachin Tendulkar who contributed to the team at crucial junctures.
Dhoni said he was a bit concerted about the batting ahead of the Gabba match.
