‘Showed guts, character’: Ganguly hails Indian youngster's 'incredible' show Vs Australia
India's Test series win in Australia will go down in history as one of their most cherished wins. Trailing the series 0-1 after getting bowled out for their lowest Test score and with Virat Kohli back home, India, under Ajinkya Rahane marked a roaring comeback to win the series 2-1 with an enthralling series win in the final match in Brisbane. The emergence of youngsters such as Mohammed Siraj, Washington Sundar, Rishabh Pant, and Shubman Gill made it possible for India to register their second straight Test series win in Australia. In Melbourne, stand-in captain Rahane led from the front to win the Boxing Day Test. In Sydney, with India battling all odds, a heroic effort from R Ashwin, Hanuma Vihari, and Pant helped the team escape with a draw. When the action moved to the Gabba – where Australia hadn't lost a Test match since 1988 – no one gave India a chance. But they still did the unthinkable chasing down 328 on the final day to cap off a historic series win a win. Leading the chase was Pant, with a sizzling 89 not out, and Ganguly, who has been vocal in his support for the 23-year-old wicketkeeper, reckons it was a collective effort and revealed that he was in constant touch with the players throughout the series.
