'This is young India at work'

Not many gave India a chance to win in Brisbane. Two debutants - Washington Sundar and T Natarajan - played key roles, Shardul Thakur, playing his second Test, kept India in the game with his batting, Mohammed Siraj picked up his maiden five-wicket haul. Shubman Gill showed he belongs and Rishabh Pant helped India clinch the series 2-1. The will hold on to the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with their second Test series win in Australia.

Australia played their full-strength squad. There were Steve Smith and David Warner. The hosts had first-choice bowling line-up with Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon playing all four Tests. They were, however, no match to the defiant and brave young India.
