Lmao to make things worse Jadeja's 81 is higher than any runs made by an Aussie throughout this series

Australia is in a rebuilding phase - they need to play against Bangladesh by hosting us. But of course out of their arrogance, they won't do so.

So thrashing is what they deserve.

Man of the Series: Steve Smith

I know hes not the only reason for this loss, but i hope CA realizes and works to bring him into the fold asap.

Yippee we won, so happy for the team, especially for Pujara guy has grinded Australia to dust special mentions to Bumrah

What happened to the much acclaimed Sheffield shield? Everyone used to once upon a time say how all should follow the Australian system yet they are producing some 30 averaging players now and the loss of Smith and Warner shows there is lack of depth

congrats to India!

Even though its a weak AUS team but it is no small feat beating them at home. Their seamers were exceptional. Puraja was solid. Kohli had a decent series by his standard. And they had good bench strength in the form of Agarwal, Vihari, K Yadav.

AUS was abysmal. Their batting line up is a joke. But I expected better from their pacers. While Indian pacers like Bumrah/Shami did so well, experienced AUS spearheads like Starc/Hazlewood/Cummins couldn't make any impact in their own conditions.

The truth is you need players with "special" talent and no system can guarantee that.

There are things people can't control, God given talent is one of them.

LOL at Jadeja's final innings 81 eclipsing all the Australian batsmens' scores over the series.

Congratulations to Indian Cricket team. 1st Asian team to beat Australia at Australia.

Shows cricket is a team game and how tough it is to a win a Test match (against a top 9 opponent). AUS bowling is world class, could go on to be one of the better attacks in Test history. But their batting was so crap, they couldn't win a series at home.

Hats off to India (even though this was essentially an Australia A team given their batters are so weak).

Congrats to India.

I am not sure if there is any country from the sub-continent who would happily send 3 of their best players into exile for ball tampering. Hats off to Australia for showing that courage.

Hats off to India for making such giant strides in all sports. They can finally claim to be a dominant team in world cricket. Their football has improved a lot in recent years (their domestic football is getting stronger every season). They are also winning medals in Olympics regularly (other than hockey). Well Done....
