On Tuesday, the Indian team registered history when they ca�🔴�me to chase 324 runs on the final day of the fourth Test against Australia at The Gabba in Brisbane.
The heroics of Rishabh Pant and Cheteshwar Pujara led the Ajinkya Rahane and Co. to win the fourth Test by three wickets and seal the Test series 2-1. By doing that, the visitor💧s have also retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
It was the second consecutive time that India won the Test series in Australia after their successful 20𝓡18-19ܫ tour.
Shubman Gill made his highest Test score of 91, before falling against Nathan Lyon. The youngster added a crucial 114-run stand with Pujara. Rahane made 22-ball 24 before Pat Cummins got rid of him.
Then Pujara, along with Pant, took charge and formed another vital stand. Pujara battled for 211 balls and scored 56 runs. However, Cummins yet agaꦉin produced a breakthrough by sending the right-handed batsman back to the pavilion in the 8🔜1st over.
On the other hand, Pant kept on scoring boundaries at regular intervals and soon took his side t𓂃o the epic victory. He remained unbeaten on 89 with 9 fours and 1 six off 138 balls, as India won the match by three wickets. The left-handed batsman was named the Man of the Match as well. Cummins who bagged 4/🎶55 for Australia received the Player of the Series award.

A few years ago, these two Pant and Sundar were going great guns at the Under 19 world cup.
Who would have thought a few years later, these two on Australian soil will take us on course to one of India's greatest test wins .— Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag)
