Vi𝓡rat Kohli-led Team India scripted a historic 137-run win against the Aussies in the Boxing Day Tes♔t at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Sunday.
It was the speedster Jasprit Bumrah, who got things do♋ne in a right way as his nine-wicket haul in the match helped Indiaꦕ to register their 150th Test victory.
Meanwhile, Cheteshwar Pujara’s gritty 106-run knock which included a 170-run partnership with captain Kohli played a decisive role in the context of the match.
Team India first played a Boxing Day Teꦅst in 1985. Over t🦄he years, they lost 5, drew 2 before finally winning in 2018. This is a sweet end to the year for Kohli and his team.
Here’s how Indian players reacted after the historic win:
