Dark clouds hung over the Sydney Cricket Ground on Monday, holding off India’s bid to win the Test series against Australia in greater style. Yet, the final 2-1 result is historic, with India for the first time defeating Australia in Australia in a Test series. Australia scored 300 and suffered the ignominy of following on before bad light and wet weather rescued the hosts. Kohli’s men did that gloriously against Tim Paine’s men, who fought for large stretches before discarding their spirit towards the business end. Now South Africa remains the “final frontier”, as it were — India is yet to win a Test series there.
