Joshi added, “The win showed what a tremendous pool of young cricketers India has. Indian cricket now has outstanding depth.”

He said to bounce back from a disastrous first Test when the team was bowled out for 36 to winning the Test series and ambushing Australia in its bastion at the “Gabba showed the side’s fighting spirit and character. 

“Indian cricket has a very bright future,” Joshi signed off.
