India registered their second consecutive Test series win in Australia.
Team India were at their best in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar series 2020-21 in Australia as they came back from going 0-1 down in Adelaide that too after getting all-out for 36 in the last innings of the first Test match.
Former England skipper Michael Vaughan lauded Ajinkya Rahane and Co’s efforts in their historic Test series win as skipper Virat Kohli had to return home after Adelaide Test.
“It was a brilliant series to watch. The Aussies pummeling them at the Adelaide Oval, 36 all out. Then Virat going back home to be next to his wife giving birth. No one gave India a chance, I don't care who you are,” Vaughan told Fox Cricket.

After winning the second Test at the iconic MCG, the Indian unit performed extremely well in drawing the third Test and winning the fourth Test at the Gabba despite the number of injuries they had to deal with.
“It's a great spectacle when a team just trying to hang in there. A little bit of banter – Ashwin taking a little bit of talking from behind the stumps. And then the Aussies arriving at the Gabba thinking that's all. They just can't get beaten at the Gabba… they’ll steamroll them,” he said.
“Throughout the whole tour, we knew Rishabh Pant was a player. We all know that he's got something very special, but I thought particularly those last two Test matches, pant came to light. It was a brilliant series. I can only imagine how much red wine Ravi Shastri must have had,” the Englishman added.
