India Scripted History in Australia

The Virat Kohli-led side scripted history as they clinched India's first-ever Test series win in Australia by 2-1 after rain played the spoilsport on the fifth day and ended the fourth and the final match in a draw at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).
Virat Kohli`s side utterly dominated the action to deservedly become the first side from the Asian sub-continent to take the honours Down Under.
The Indian team is yet to win a series in South Africa but finally breaking through in Australia will do much to burnish the reputation of Kohli and a team already ranked number one in the world in the longest format of the game.
