Virat Kohli led-Team India created history by winning a Test series in Australia for the first time on Monday.
Having already retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy thanks to their win in Adelaide and Melbourne, the number one-ranked Team India clinched the four-match Test series 2-1 as the fifth day of the final Test in Sydney ended in a draw due to persistent rain.
India’s top-order batsman Cheteshwar Pujara was adjudged the Player of the Series for his splendid 521 runs in seven innings, which includes three centuries at an average of 74.
Here are some best tweets from the cricket fraternity:
