India Won First Test Match In Australia Since 2008

Adelaide - India won their first Test on Australian soil in a decade on Monday. India beat Australia by 31 runs to lead the series 1-0. The last Test India won in Australia was at the WACA Ground in Perth in 2008.

Wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant pouched a world record-equalling 11 catches for the match as India, after setting an improbable target of 323, finally dismissed Australia to win by 31 runs on day five at Adelaide Oval.

It was a huge breakthrough for captain Virat Kohli's men, who went 1-0 up with three Tests to go after becoming the first Indian team to win the opening match of a Test series in Australia

And with this win India captain Virat Kohli also became the first Asian captain to win tests in Australia, England and South Africa. Former India captains Rahul Dravid and MS Dhoni won Test matches as captains in England and South Africa but not in Australia.
