Today’s the date will be written in bold in the books of Indian cricket, a historic win and unforgettable day!
Right from the start of the fourth and last Test match against Australia, the Indian team was in control, be it the bat, ball or fielding counter attack. From Shubhman Gill’s 91 and Rishab Pant’s match winning 89 to Mohammed Siraj’s five wicket haul, the young Indian team shined bright at the Gabba in Brisbane. Proud of you, boys!
#TeamIndia win the Gabba Test by 3 wickets. Rishabh Pant shines with a match-winning 89*.

After losing the first match by getting all-out at 36, under Ajinkya Rahane’s captaincy, the Men in Blue rose like Phoenix and gave their best performance on the Aussie Land. Chasing a big total scored by Australia, every player contributed towards the Test match win and finally India has also claimed the Test series too.
32 years later at the Gabba, India has defeated Australia to win the Border-Gavaskar trophy. Showing solid character and not feeling pressure, even cricketing legends are in awe of the team and sent them good wishes through Twitter, take a look:
EVERY SESSION WE DISCOVERED A NEW HERO.
Every time we got hit, we stayed put & stood taller. We pushed boundaries of belief to play fearless but not careless cricket. Injuries & uncertainties were countered with poise & confidence. One of the greatest series wins!
