A new order in Indian cricket stamped its mark as a young bunch led by Ajinkya Rahane brought Australia crumbling at Brisbane. For the Aussies, it was defeat, coupled with pain and humiliation as India created history by inflicting loss on the hosts who have never lost a Test at the Gabba stadium since 1988.
And acknowledging the rise of the new order and the newer lot of heroes was Team India coach Ravi Shastri. In his post-match speech to the cricketers in the dressing room, the 58-year-old felicitated the team for their collective effort. Like a good manager, and a CEO, he also highlighted some key performances and the men behind it.
India reached a record target of 328 with 18 balls to spare on the fifth day of the final Test in Australia s "Fortress Gabba", where no team had beaten the hosts in 32 years.
