No victory seems ever so sweet as in bearding the lion in its own den. After India’s disastrous First Test performance in Australia in the last BorderGavaskar Trophy, what followed was beyond imagination of all and sundry. A team that in an innings was ignobly crushed at its lowest historical score of just 36 runs was definitely not expected to raise its head again during the rest of the series. However, what followed is now history and will be talked about for years to come.
In the absence of Virat Kohli, who was granted paternity leave after the First Test, the writing for the Indian team seemed to be on the wall, but for the present Indian team, most of whose young guns have been nurtured under the guidance of the legendary Rahul Dravid, surrender is not there in their dictionary. At the end of it all, a new chapter in cricketing history was written at Brisbane where the home team had not lost a Test match in the last 22 years.
One may wonder as to what helped India win the series and perhaps the obvious answer would be the series of injuries to its players, as some of the players who contributed to this historical series may have continued to sit on the bench in the presence of their more illustrious team mates.
