India scripts history in Gabba, Ajinkya Rahane's side celebrate 32-year feat of beating Australia in their fortress
Ajinkya Rahane's Indian cricket team defeated Australia by three wickets in the Gabba Test to create a 32-year bit of history and win the series.
After 32 years, the last bastion of Australian cricket finally crumbled. The Gabba, forever considered to be the ultimate sentinel of Australian cricket, has been finally breached as Ajinkya Rahane's Indian cricket team scripted history by winning the final Test at the Gabba by three wickets. Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara and Rishabh Pant smashed fifties as Australia suffered a cataclysmic defeat which has shattered their aura even at home.
For India, this will be considered their greatest-ever Test series win. With no Virat Kohli, no Ravichandran Ashwin, no Jasprit Bumrah, no Mohammed Shami and Hanuma Vihari, India's wafer-thin bowling line-up still outsmarted the Australians in their own home den. Shubman Gill was at his youthful best, Cheteshwar Pujara continued to grind the Australian team down but Rishabh Pant showed that he had finally reached the pinnacle when it came to maturity and impact. His unbeaten knock was a symbol that the talent and depth in the Indian cricket team were immense and it was interesting time for India. For Australia, it is a long time of contemplation.
