"Remember the name" - Twitterati can't keep calm about Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant's unbelievable 89 not out didn't just help India pull off an unforgettable victory. It also sent Twitter into a frenzy. India became the first team to breach Australia's fortress, the Gabba, in 32 years. They also retained the prized Border-Gavaskar Trophy with a 2-1 scoreline.

Rishabh Pant fittingly hit the winning shot - a sumptuous straight drive that went for four. And more fittingly, he carried the tricolour around the ground.

Nobody from Ab de Villiers to Netlfix could keep calm after the emotional roller coaster.

Cricket fraternity and international personalities pour in praise for Rishabh Pant

What a Test match! The depth of Indian Cricket is scary. @RishabhPant17 , sweet number 17. Well played young man. #testcricket at its very best

You know what’s Rishabh Pant's biggest achievement? When the required run rate is above 4 in test cricket, 1.3 billion people still believed we could win. That shows the amount of trust we have. #AUSvsIND

Rishabh Pant came to the crease in the 57th over when few gave India a chance to win the game. The southpaw didn't get into smashing business from the get-go. Instead, he batted until Tea with admirable maturity. Then, Pant slowly starting paring down the target with calculated risks against Nathan Lyon.

However, the real test started when Cheteshwar Pujara was dismissed after a well-made fifty. The 22-year-old Pant took the onus to anchor the innings along with the batting tail and flew India home.

The foundation was laid by Shubman Gill's flamboyant 91 (146), followed by a rock-solid knock of 56 by Pujara, and small but significant contributions from Washington Sundar and Mayank Agarwal.

In the end, Virat Kohli's platitudes about showing 'intent' worked in favour of the visitors as Rishabh Pant brought his captain's words to life. Kohli, Pant, and the whole of India can be immensely proud of what this team has achieved in this entire series.
