Team India just pulled off a feat that many are hailing as historic. India won the fourth and the final test of the series in Brisbane, Australia, with three wickets, clinching the series 2-1. The last time a visiting team came out triumphant from the Brisbane Cricket Ground was back in November 1988, when the mighty West Indian outfit, under the leadership of Viv Richards, thrashed Allan Border’s team by 9 wickets, according to news agency ANI. The Brisbane Cricket Ground, commonly known as the Gabba, is a major sports stadium in Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, Australia.

Twitter has been flooded with tweets celebrating Team India’s win, with political leaders and celebrities putting out congratulatory messages. “Hats off to Indian Cricket Team for registering a historic series win. Entire nation is proud of your remarkable achievement. Well played Team India!” Home Minister Amit Shah tweeted.

According to ANI, the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) has announced a ₹ 5 crore bonus for the team, as it retains the Border-Gavaskar trophy after chasing down 328 in the final test to end Australia’s 32-year unbeaten run at the Gabba.
