Captain Rohit Sharma made a big statement
After the end of the shortest game in Test history, Rohit said that this was one of our best Test wins. We've never won here, that surpasses all our victories. He doesn't want to compare it with other Test wins, but Rohit feels the win in Brisbane was equally important as the touring team had not beaten Australia there for 33 years. Rohit said it was difficult to compare it with Test wins elsewhere. It is difficult to classify these tests. Every Test match has its own significance. I think the last time Australia lost was at the Gabba in 1988. So it became their stronghold and the way we won the Test was important.
This was in the WTC points table
The Indian team has reached the top of the World Test Championship points table and the captain said it was important to win this game after losing points due to slow over-rate. He said that it was important to win the Test match. This is a good start to the new year. We lost a few points due to overrating, so this win was important.
