After leading India to a historic maiden ODI series in triumph in Australia, Captain Virat Kohli enjoyed his time off by catching the action at the Australian Open in Melbourne on Saturday.

 

Kohli and his wife Anushka met with tennis legend Roger Federer at Melbourne Park.

'Three legends, one photo @imVkohli x @rogerfederer x @AnushkaSharma,' the Australian Open posted on it's official Twitter handle.

'What a day at the Australian open. An amazing way to finish the Australian summer. Forever grateful,' tweeted Kohli.

Anuskha also posted a picture of Serena Williams on her Instagram account, calling the American the 'Greatest female tennis player!!'

Serena wasted no time to power into the fourth round with a 6-2, 6-1 demolition of Ukrainian teenager Dayana Yastremska.

The duo also witnessed world No. 1 Novak Djokovic getting the better of Denis Shapovalov to progress to the round of 16.

On Friday, India had beaten Australia in the third ODI by seven wickets to clinch the three-match series 2-1.

Kohli's men became the first country to return from Australia without losing a single series, having won the Test series 2-1 and drawn the T20 Internationals 1-1.
