EVERY SESSION WE DISCOVERED A NEW HERO.
Every time we got hit, we stayed put & stood taller. We pushed boundaries of belief to play fearless but not careless cricket. Injuries & uncertainties were countered with poise & confidence. One of the greatest series wins!
Congrats India. pic.twitter.com/ZtCChUURLV

For all of us in 🇮🇳 & across the world, if you ever score 36 or lesser in life, remember: it isn't end of the world.
The spring stretches backward only to propel you forward. And once you succeed, don't forget to celebrate with those who stood by you when the world wrote you off. pic.twitter.com/qqaTTAg9uW

Khushi ke maare pagal. This is the new India. Ghar mein ghuskar maarta hai.
From what happened in Adelaide to this, these young guys have given us a joy of a lifetime. There have been World Cup wins but this is special.
And yes,there is a reason Pant is extra special . pic.twitter.com/3CAQIkAuwq

This is pretty much how I felt when Harbhajan slap-drove McGrath for 2 in Chennai 2001. Twenty years on... here we go again.

What a Test match! The depth of Indian Cricket is scary. @RishabhPant17 , sweet number 17. Well played young man. #testcricket at its very best

— AB de Villiers (@ABdeVilliers17) January 19, 2021

What a win for India!! This will give BELIEF to millions of young Indian kids that anything is possible. BELIEF is intangible but BELIEF is very important for our nation. Sport really cuts across all barriers - Caste, creed, religion. Salute Team India!!

1988: Greenidge Haynes Richardson Hooper Richards Logie Dujon Marshall Ambrose Walsh Patterson

2021: Rohit Gill Pujara Rahane Pant Agarwal Sundar Thakur Saini Siraj Natarajan

The last two visiting XIs to win a Test match at Brisbane.

‘Come to Gabba’, eh?#AUSvIND #AUSvsIND

India’s series win is one of the great sporting triumphs. In bio-secure bubbles since October, 36 all out in Adelaide, dozens of players missing: win in Melbourne & salvage in Sydney before ending Australia’s 33 year unbeaten run in Brisbane. The stuff of legend. #AUSvIND

— Freddie Wilde (@fwildecricket) January 19, 2021

Away from home, at a ground where Australia never lose, without Kohli, with a bowling attack that is ridiculously inexperienced, after being 36 all out in the first Test.

Can’t think of a more impressive overseas win than this by India. Just incredible.

Virat Kohli was 16 days old the last time Australia lost a Gabba Test #AUSvIND

— Tristan Lavalette (@trislavalette) January 19, 2021

India thoroughly deserved to win this series, against all odds they stood tall. Australia has some serious thinking to do, had the advantage of home series, fitness and the toss across the series! #AUSvIND

— Tom Moody (@TomMoodyCricket) January 19, 2021

Last time Australia lost a Test at The Gabba - 1988.

Rohit was 1 year old
Pujara, Rahane were not even a year old.
Gill, Pant, Agarwal, Sundar, Thakur, Saini, Siraj, Natarajan were not even born.

The magnitude of this series win cannot be put in words.#AUSvIND

— Nikhil 🏏 (@CricCrazyNIKS) January 19, 2021

This is the greatest test win in India's history. Period. The greatest. Not Kolkata, not Port of Spain, not Adelaide. This is also the greatest series win in Indian history.

— Anish Anand (@testbowler) January 19, 2021

Yes, analysis & opinions will take precedence but a lot of credit and massive hats off goes to all the players. They have been away from their homes, in bio bubbles, battling loneliness, injuries & given it their all to put on a brilliant show during these tough times. #AUSvIND
