"She's in tremendous form and I think something that has been really impressive is the tone she set at the top," Ellyse Perry said.
"It's not like she's been out there for a long time she's really taking the game on and scoring.
"She's been really crucial for us," she said.
Australia clinched the series against India on Thursday with a 60 run victory.

"I think the first two games have been incredibly important to us," Perry said.
"I think something that has been so pleasing is we've come off a really long summer at and all the girls have played a lot of cricket but we've all come into this tour with so much enthusiasm and energy.
"We really wanted to perform well over in these conditions because we are aware of just how good this Indian team is," she said.
