The Gabba, 2021.
In reply to Australia’s 369, Ro started well and timed even better in a sublime 44-run knock alongside his record-setting five catches 👌
His opening partner Shubman Gill took charge in the second innings, scoring a brisk 91 to keep India the required impetus in a massive chase 🏏
Rahane's captaincy kept a battered India motivated, bringing the best out of every player 🌟
He got hit on his head. On his chest. On his shoulders. On his thighs. But Pujara scored a fighting 56 that wore down the likes of Cummins, Hazlewood and Starc 👌
Mayank Agarwal's handy 38 in the first innings kept the scores ticking when closing in on Australia in the first innings didn't look like an option 👊🏼
3 wickets in the first innings, one in the second. A 62 (144) followed by a match-winning 22 (29). Sundar was the sizzling all-rounder India needed ⚡
A 67 (115) to build a record partnership with Sundar and 7 wickets in the game, Shardul's performance left us in awe of him 🤩
A maiden Mohammed Siraj five-for kept the Australian batsmen from scoring to their full potential, giving India a total to beat! 😍
Saini bowling despite an injury to keep Australia on a tight leash is a sheer display of grit 👌🏼
A good debut for Natarajan with 3️⃣ wickets in the first innings, fittingly announcing the arrival of a new India!
Last but not the least, kudos to Pant’s 89* that ensured Australia couldn’t defend 145 in the final session of day five 👏
Inexperienced was the what team sheet read but they came out with resilience to do the unthinkable 🇮🇳
Massive respect to every member of the touring party for creating history 👊🏼🏆
