The Virat Kohli-led Indian team registered its name in history books after winning their first-ever Test series in Australia on Monday.

After the visiting team won the Adelaide and Melbourne Test of the series, the fifth and final Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) ended in a draw as no play was possible on the last day due to continuous downpour. With that India clinched the series 2-1.

Cheteshwar Pujara, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, Mayank Agarwal were the stars of the series which witnessed a rare failure from skipper Kohli.

Moments after the announcement of abandonment of the fourth Test, fans, pundits, former players, actors, politicians took to Twitter hailing India's historic series win.

Congratulations. Today, the Indian cricket team wins its first ever Test series in Australia. This is a historic achievement. We are proud of you
