Twitter Reactions – ‘A day I’ll cherish for the rest of my life’

With the fourth Test at Sydney Cricket Ground ending in a draw, India sealed their first ever series win on Australian soil by virtue of their victories in the first (Adelaide) and third Test (Melbourne).

Thus, under Virat Kohli, India ended their 71-year wait for a Test series win Down Under. India have thus won Test series in England, Australia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, New Zealand and West Indies with South Africa the sole exception.
