The win ensured the tourists claimed the series 2-1 and retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy they won in Australia in 2018-19.
Paine conceded he was below par in the last two Tests.
He dropped a number of chances on the final day in Sydney, when India batted all day to salvage a draw, and missed a stumping on the last day in Brisbane as Rishabh Pant led India to a stunning victory.
Paine also came under heavy criticism from a number of former players over his bowling changes, field placings and his decisions on when to declare.
