What a way to start the series!#TeamIndia never released the pressure. Superb batting by @cheteshwar1 with crucial knocks in both innings, @ajinkyarahane88 in the 2nd innings and excellent contributions by our 4 bowlers. This has brought back memories of 2003. #INDvAUS pic.twitter.com/4gmviaKeCC— Sachin Tendulkar (@sachin_rt) December 10, 2018 Test Cricket is Best Cricket. Great fight by Australia in the end but India were too good. Winning after being 41-4 in first innings is a special effort. Outstanding Test match for Pujara and great effort from our bowlers. Promises to be a great series #AusvInd pic.twitter.com/PEYzKuBsap— Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) December 10, 2018 Fifteen years ago, I was here with Rahul Dravid after his epic innings.

Terrific test match & congrats to @imVkohli & his men on a wonderful victory ! Bring on Perth — Shane Warne (@ShaneWarne) December 10, 2018 Cheteshwar Pujara won the man-of-the-match award, just as Rahul Dravid, India's No. 3 batsman in the 2003 Test at Adelaide Oval, had done when India last won here. History repeats itself! In the 2003 Adelaide Test, No. 3 Rahul Dravid won the Player of the Match.In 2018, No. 3 @cheteshwar1 is named Player of the Match. #TeamIndia pic.twitter.com/LOnRQNbXyo— BCCI (@BCCI) December 10, 2018 Subscribe to our daily newsletter Get your daily dose of Sportstar with handpicked stories delivered right to your inbox!
