On Tuesday, the Indiꦰan team registered history when they came 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 byﷺ three wickets and seal the Test series 2-1. By doing that, the visitors have also retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
It was the second conse🐽cutive time that India won t🌳he Test series in Australia after their successful 2018-19 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 Pujarﷺa, along with Pant, took charge and formed another vital stand. Pujara battled for 211 balls and scored 56 runs. However, Cum♚mins yet again produced a breakthrough by sending the right-handed batsman back to the pavilion in the 81st over.
On the other hand, Pant kept on scoring boundaries at regular intervals and soon took his side to 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 bag🥂ged 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)
