In a historic moment for Indian cricket, at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. The enthralling one-off Test match culminated with India successfully chasing down a target of 75 runs, marking a significant milestone in the team’s Test cricket journey.
Historic Victory for Team India
The Indian team displayed exceptional skills and determination, clinching a historic win against the formidable Australian side. This triumph marked India’s first-ever Test victory over Australia, a feat that sent ripples of joy through the cricketing fraternity and the nation.
Shafali Verma’s Early Dismissal and Richa Ghosh’s Contribution
Chasing a modest target of 75, the Indian innings began with scoring a boundary but perishing in the very first over. Despite Richa Ghosh‘s initial struggles at the crease, including being dropped on 0, she managed to play a crucial role in a half-century partnership with Smriti Mandhana. Ghosh, after scoring a couple of streaky boundaries, fell while attempting a big shot. Mandhana’s fluent batting eventually led India to victory as she hit the winning runs.

The longest format is India's best format. I think India are the best team out of the Big 3 in this format. Even in Aus, India bowled better lengths than their counterparts.
Congrats on historic win!!
