Requiring another 324 runs on day five to win the Gabba Test, Team India needed a good start from their openers.

However, they lost Rohit Sharma early in the day. This could have hugely dented the hopes of the visitors, given the attacking brand of cricket Rohit played.

However, Shubman Gill got together with Cheteshwar Pujara and stabilized the Indian innings. The duo added 114 runs for the second wicket before the youngster perished for a well-made 91.

Stand-in skipper Ajinkya Rahane played a fine cameo of 24, but it was the partnership between Pujara and Rishabh Pant that gave Team India genuine hope of chasing down the target.

Determined. 50. Pujara. #AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/x9uSMjRGQb

Pat Cummins made the second new ball talk and dismissed Cheteshwar Pujara first, followed by Mayank Agarwal.

However, another crucial partnership between Rishabh Pant and Washington Sundar proved to be the final nail in the coffin for the Australians.

Pant brought up the winning moment by smashing the ball down the ground for a boundary as Team India chased down the target with three wickets in hand.

The Gabba fortress was finally breached and the depleted visitors stunned the hosts to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
