Bengaluru: On Wednesday,  excitement has seen after India beat England 4-0 in the five-match series.Virat Kohli termed the entire series as a memorable one a lot of positives for the national team going forward.

"It's a memorable series win for us, the whole tour. It's been a brilliant couple of months for the Indian team, going forward we know exactly what to do in each format," Kohli said after India beat England by 75 runs in the third and final T20 International match.

Kohli paid tributes to his senior colleagues, including Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh, for their guidance in the limited overs series.

"It's not a bad thing when you have MS Dhoni behind the stumps and experienced guys like Ashu Bhai (Ashish Nehra) and Yuvi pa (Yuvraj Singh). I am new to limited overs cricket and they have been around long before me. I'm taking advice from them whenever possible, they're so intelligent, a lot of credit goes to them," Kohli said.

Praising Dhoni, who recently stepped down as limited overs captain and who scored 56 in India's 202 for 6, Kohli said, "I wanted to send (Dhoni) up the order, he's the one who says he'll come in later, that will give the team better balance. Come the big game, even in the one-day series, series decider, he stepped up, and he stepped up again today. He is priceless."

England captain Eoin Morgan conceded that India deserved to win the series.

"We made a fatal error in losing two in batsman when we were going so well. Outstanding bowling from Chahal and India put in a performance worthy of winning the series. We could have done with myself or Joe getting 70 or 80 but it wasn't meant to be tonight," he said.

"It was a beautiful wicket to bat on, very small boundary, and altitude as well. We would have taken 190 at the start of the game. Our batting performance was possibly the worst in the last two years, but we won't necessarily dwell too much into that."
