Captain Virat Kohli’s team has achieved the near-impossible! India has won a Test series in Australia for the first time — a feat that had eluded previous touring Indian teams for 71 years. However, the fact remains that Virat Kohli’s relatively young team had scaled the height that the gods of Indian cricket had failed to climb. This would surely give a huge boost to Test cricket, which has been facing a lot of pressure from the shorter formats of the game. Naysayers will always quibble over facts such as “this wasn’t a competent Australian team”, but that hardly diminishes the glory of Virat’s XI.
