Incredible Test & series win for India have not seen a bold, brave & boisterous Asian team on a tougher tour of Australia. No adversity could stop them, frontline players injured, & won after a remarkable turn around from the depths of 36 all out, inspiring for others.kudos India

That was pretty damn amazing— Dale Steyn (@DaleSteyn62) January 19, 2021
India thoroughly deserved to win this series, against all odds they stood tall. Australia has some serious thinking to do, had the advantage of home series, fitness and the toss across the series! #AUSvIND

Congrats to the Indian cricket team @BCCI That’s one of the best series wins I can ever remember on Aust soil & to do it after being bowled out for 36, plus a depleted squad-shows tremendous character, resilience, courage & belief. Just fantastic @RaviShastriOfc @ajinkyarahane88

@ajinkyarahane88 led the side brilliantly, giving a lot of confidence to youngsters and Pujara exhibited his steely resolve once again. Can’t forget the young bowling unit. Fantastic team effort #AUSvsIND

“Just watching it from a cricketing fan’s perspective, it was an amazing game of cricket, an incredible series. We certainly know how hard it is going over to Australia, and playing against them, they are a formidable side, but so are India and they had such a number of injuries and to show their depth and keep competing right to the end and come away with a series win very special for that side.”
This is why test cricket is the best challenge for a cricketer.. well done @BCCI .. what a game. Brilliant series to watch. Cricket was a winner today

Remarkable. Injuries galore, absent players, & beating Australia at their fortress at the Gabba. This has been the most remarkable test series victory I’ve watched in my experience. India’s depth of talent, heart and character must forever lift an entire nation. Congratulations.

It takes something special to beat Australia in any test match on home soil but @BCCI have been outstanding with so many injuries @RishabhPant17 showed huge courage to play his way under pressure against class bowlers like @patcummins30 and Lyon especially after @cheteshwar1 out
