The young talented Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant led the chase with his aggressive and mature knock of an unbeaten 89 runs, while Shubman Gill played a powerful knock of 91 runs that brought the momentum to the game.
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.
Earlier, chasing the target of 328 runs, team India kickstarted the game with a shaky note as they lost their talented opener, Rohit Sharma, however, Shubman Gill took the responsibility on his young shoulders as he brought the momentum back to the game with his gutsy knock. He joined hands with Pujara and both the cricketers took the game by storm.
While Shubman displayed his aggressive batting performance, Pujara stood there like a wall and took all the body blows while contributing a half-century. Later, it was Rishabh Pant’s stellar performance that helped the team India win the series with 3 wickets.
Meanwhile, social media was soon flooded with amazing reactions from the netizens on this. From fans to cricketers and cricket experts, everyone took the social media by storm as soon as India conquered the Gabba with their heroic performances.
Indian cricket fraternity is leaving no stone unturned to express their feelings on India’s win. Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag alongwith many other cricketers are celebrating India’s win on Twitter.

Khushi ke maare pagal. This is the new India. Ghar mein ghuskar maarta hai.
From what happened in Adelaide to this, these young guys have given us a joy of a lifetime. There have been World Cup wins but this is special.
And yes,there is a reason Pant is extra special . pic.twitter.com/3CAQIkAuwq— Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) January 19, 2021
A few years ago, these two Pant and Sundar were going great guns at the Under 19 world cup.
Who would have thought a few years later, these two on Australian soil will take us on course to one of India’s greatest test wins . pic.twitter.com/FEfozghPP6— Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) January 19, 2021
