Pant guides India to historic, series-clinching win at Brisbane Cricket Ground

With the series tied 1-1 ahead of the fourth test, India needed only a draw to retain the trophy. But the injury-depleted India squad had a bigger target in mind and played with no fear to post the highest successful fourth-innings chase in a test at the Gabba, ending Australia's unbeaten streak dating to 1988 at the Brisbane venue.

To cap that, after never winning a test series on Australian soil until 2018-19, India has now done it twice on consecutive tours Down Under. When paceman Pat Cummins dismissed Rohit Sharma in the 9th over, Pujura joined 21-year-old Gill in a 114-run stand that not only helped thwart the Australian attack but also kept India on track for an unlikely win.

The India squad did a victory lap of the Gabba -- a rare sight for a visiting team -- to acknowledge their supporters in the stadium."It's been a bit of a trend that we were found wanting in the key moments and completely outplayed by a tough Indian side that fully deserves the win," Paine said. "India's batters turned up, wore it on the body, toughed it out and kept soldiering on and took the game away from us late. You've got to give them credit for that.
