India won a Test series in Australia for the first time when the rain-disrupted fourth match petered out in a draw with no play possible at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Monday. When the Indian team came out to celebrate on the field, the likes of KL Rahul, Captain Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant made Player of the Series Cheteshwar Pujara dance as they broke in celebrations for the historic series win. Batting for 31 hours and right minutes in the four Tests, Pujara swept away 521 runs and tons of records during the Border-Gavaskar series. The draw in the fourth Test earlier looked assured after India scored 622 for seven declared in their first innings. Wet weather forced an early finish on day three and allowed less than two hours play on day four, before washing out the final day on Monday.
