Bollywood stars like Varun Dhawan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Vicky Kaushal, Ayushmann Khurrana, Sidharth Malhotra, Tisca Chopra, Karisma Kapoor, and many others took to their social media handle to congratulate team India for putting up a spectacular show. Despite losing key players to injury, India chased down a mammoth 328 in the fourth and final Test, ending Australia's 32-year unbeaten run at Brisbane to clinch the series 2-1 and retain the Border-Gavaskar trophy.
Team India's win
Chasing a target of 328, and just four on the board at the start of day 5, India had a tough mission at hand. However, Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara came up with a fine century partnership after the dismissal of Rohit Sharma early on. While Gill departed for 91, Pujara got a crucial partnership with Ajinkya Rahane, who scored a quickfire 24. Rishabh Pant and Washington Sundar went all guns blazing in the final session to help India chase down the mammoth target set by Australia. Wicketkeeper-batsmen Rishabh Pant kept the momentum going for India after Pujara's dismissal and held his nerve to get the visitors across the line.
