Virat Kohli-led Team India scripted a historic 137-run win against the Aussies in the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Gro🤪und (MCG) on Sunday.
It was the speedster Jasprit Bumrah, who got things done in a right way as his nine-wicket haul in the match helped Indiaꦉ to register their 150th Test victory.
Meanwhile, Cheteshwar Pujara’s gritty 106-run knock which included a 170-run partnership with captain Kohli played a decisive role in the context of the match.
Team India first played a Boxing Day Test in 1985. Over the years, they lost 5, drew 2 before finally winning in 2018. This is a sweet end toꦐ the year fo♍r Kohli and his team.
Here’s how Indian players reacted after the historic win:
