Momentous winIndian players celebrate their Test series win over Australia A momentous 2-1 win over Australia in Australia provides Virat Kohli’s Team India far greater satisfaction than 2011 World Cup victory. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BBCI) was mighty pleased at boys doing and sanctioned reward for the motivated boys. The boys made history since their first tour in 1947. The victory, in a way, was stimulating as it came as a combined effort instead of depending wholly on skipper Virat Kohli. He finished behind Cheteshwar Pujara and Rishabh Pant. Kohli showered praise on bowlers, particularly fast boys. Three fast boys—Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami and Ishant Sharma picking 48 wickets. This attack is considered the best in the country. In a historic first achievement in Australia
after several decades, India outplayed Australia.
Chestshwar Pujara was a grand performer
scoring three centuries in the series. The
opening posted problem but Pant said: “Nothing
doing”. Kohli and his boys were aggressive and
backed themselves. India’s task was relatively made easier as
Steven Smith and David Warner were suspended
for ball tampering. The boys shone as they had
raised their mental strength and resolve. Kohli
said that the boys had achieved the identity. It is
a platform on which future can be built. In the words of skipper Kohli: “the boys
showed three qualities---a hard attitude,
patience to rehabilitate the innings and
vigorous pace attack”. Mayank Agarwal is a
great entry in the team. Kohli told Australians that he will not pick up
a bat once he retires. |
