Swashbuckling Australia batsman Glenn Maxwell dismissed reports that he had criticised Virat Kohli, saying it is "completely untrue" and the Australian team is actually "in awe" of the India Test captain. Despite nursing a bruised tendon above his right knee and a sore left hamstring, which rendered him doubtful for the fifth and final ODI on Saturday, Maxwell on Friday took to social media to clear the air about the reports.

Maxwell, who had hit 96 and 41 in the 3rd and 4th ODIs to help Australia clinch the series 4-0, also spoke to Cricket Australia to clarify his comments about Kohli.
