The historic team effort delighted the India's regular skipper Virat Kohli, who is in India on a paternity leave.

After the Adelaide debacle wherein India were all out for 36, Kohli had said that everyone was trying to 'make a mountain out of a molehill'.
On Tuesday, Kohli took to the twitter to express his joy.
"WHAT A WIN!!! Yessssss. To everyone who doubted us after Adelaide, stand up and take notice. Exemplary performance but the grit and determination was the standout for us the whole way. Well done to all the boys and the management. Enjoy this historic feat lads. @BCCI.
The win ended Australia's 31-match unbeaten run at the venue.
