Off-spinner R Ashwin came up with a befitting reply for the cricket experts who doubted Team India before the Test series Down Under. Experts had predicted Australia to win the series 4-0 against India at home.

India, who played the last three matches without Virat Kohli, may have been pushed back after the first Test defeat, but they knew how to fight back.

In reply to humiliation at Adelaide, the Ajinkya Rahane-led side won the Melbourne Test. They went on to draw a hard-fought Sydney Test and finally, the last nail in the coffin, win at the Gabba.

Before this contest, in their last 31 games at the Gabba, Australia won 24 matches without a single loss. Australia was confident of being at the best in Brisbane, but little did they know this inexperienced Indian team, with half of their players ruled out because of injury, still had the courage and strength to fight back.

Ashwin took to Twitter and gave a reply to all the predictions in style. "LHS ( not = ) RHS ! Yours happily India tour of OZ 2020/21 Humbled by all the love and support we have received over the last 4 weeks!????", wrote the offie in his tweet.

India were chasing 328 on a tough day five pitch in Brisbane. It took Shubman Gill's 91-run knock, followed by Cheteshwar Pujara's 211-ball 56 and Rishabh Pant's unbeaten 89 runs to seal the match.
