What a way to start the series!# Team India never released the pressure. Superb batting by @ cheteshwar1 with crucial knocks in both innings, @ ajinkyarahane88 in the 2nd innings and excellent contributions by our 4 bowlers. This has brought back memories of 2003.

Test Cricket is Best Cricket. Great fight by Australia in the end but India were too good. Winning after being 41- 4 in first innings is a special effort. Outstanding Test match for Pujara and great effort from our bowlers. Promises to be a great series
