Australia on Friday (March 3) completed an emphatic nine-wicket victory over India in the third Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test at Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore.

The visitors were set a 76-run target to win the third Test and they didn’t break a sweat to overhaul it in the morning session on Day 3.

While the Aussies lost Usman Khawaja on the second delivery of the day, the duo of Travis Head (49*) and Marnus Labuschagne (28*) ensured there were no more hiccups and guided the tourists over the line.

With this victory, Australia sealed their World Test Championship final spot. India still lead the four-match series 2-1 with one Test to go in Ahmedabad, which the hosts will need to win to reach the WTC final.

For their stunning performance in the Indore Test, the Steve Smith-led Australian side received rich praise from the cricket fraternity on Twitter.

Here are the reactions:
