This victory will not just inspire Indian cricketers, it will inspire all Indian sportspersons for quite a few years to come with the two most vital messages for anybody who plays competitive sport. That fear and pain are in the mind. And self respect is in the heart. #AUSvsIND

The team was led by Ajinkya Rahane in the absence of Indian skipper Virat Kohli who is on paternity leave. This fantastic win of Team India has certainly beaten the Covid-19 blues for cricket fanatics. (Source: Twitter)
