Australian limited overs skipper Aaron Finch heads to India on Monday with a skip in his step after leading the Melbourne Renegades to the Big Bash League title, in contrast to a despondent Glenn Maxwell. Finch's Renegades clinched their first domestic Twenty20 crown in dramatic fashion on Sunday after city rivals the Stars, led by Maxwell, imploded during a tense run chase. They lost seven wickets for 19 runs in one of the biggest capitulations in Australian cricket history, and Maxwell admitted it left him "pretty shattered".

Both men were due to fly out Monday to play two T20s and five one-day internationals against Virat Kohli's team, leaving them little time to reflect on their incredible change in fortunes on Sunday. Chasing 146 to win at Docklands Stadium, Maxwell's men were cruising at 93 without loss before dramatically collapsing to throw away the game. Finch said he was thrilled by the 13-run win, which was just the tonic for a man who has gone through an eventful summer.
