India spinner R Ashwin took a jibe at Australia captain Tim Paine after their victory in Brisbane which ensured a series win by 2-1. Ashwin sarcastically thanked Paine for hosting them at Gabba.

In the last match at Sydney, Ashwin and Paine had a heated conversation. The Australia skipper had said he can't wait to see him at the Gabba.

Australia's last defeat in Brisbane came against West Indies in 1988. They were undefeated here in their last 31 games before India took them down on Tuesday (January 19).

After India chased down 328 to win the match, Ashwin took to Twitter and posted a tweet taking a dig at the Aussie skipper. 

“Good evening from Gabba!! I am sorry I couldn’t play here but thanks for hosting us and playing some hard cricket during these tough times. We will remember this series forever! @tdpaine36 @CricketAus,” Ashwin tweeted.

India have retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. They had won the series last time too on their tour in 2018-19.
