It was young India at work that created history at the Gabba, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur, and many others, these youngsters carried the pride and prestige of the country on their shoulders and helped the team lift the prestigious cup.
On day 5 of the fourth and the final Test match, Shubman Gill played a powerful knock of 91 runs that brought the momentum to the game, while Cheteshwar Pujara, on the other hand, played like a true warrior. He endured many painful blows on his body and frustrated the Australian bowlers with his mature knock of 56-run knock that he raised with a 211-ball vigil.
During his knock, Rishabh also broke the long-standing record of MS Dhoni as he became the fastest keeper-batsman to score 1000 Test runs.
The young talented Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant led the chase with his aggressive and mature knock of an unbeaten 89 runs and sealed the series with a powerful four. During his knock, he proved his mettle as not just he tackled the dangerous Australian bowlers but he smashed them all across the Gabba. He smashed a stunning six during his knock and 9 fours, including the winning boundary which helped team India win the game.

Only issue with India beating Australia in such an INCREDIBLE manner, is that the Test was played in Brisbane.
A city that doesn’t deserve an event so good! ?Pant – the boy who turned into a man today in Australia, in cricketing terms!
