Twitteratis reacted after India sealed their first win at MCG after 37 years and went on to take a 2-1 lead in the series thereby retaining the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Team India scripted a historic win after they went on to beat the hosts Australia by 137 runs and take a 2-1 lead in the Domain Test series. It took the visitors only 27 balls on the fifth day to remove the final 2 wickets and seal the victory.
Jasprit Bumrah stood out for India picking up 6 wickets in the first innings and then following it up with another 3 in the second. Him aided by Shami and Ishant proved to be the instrumental factor in India’s dominant show at MCG.
Following this scintillating victory after 37 years at Melbourne, number of people took to twitter to congratulate the team for the performance they put up. Here are some of their reactions.
Incredible effort by #TeamIndia to take a 2-1 lead, especially @Jaspritbumrah93 who has played an instrumental role in this win. He has gone from strength to strength in all formats of the game. Definitely one of the best in the world today. #INDvAUS pic.twitter.com/vweoHd0nEE

37 years 10 months ago was the last time India won a test at the MCG, none of the players from either sides were born. This win is one to savour & cherish for a long time and a perfect end to 2018 for Team India. Each player can be very proud of their contribution to this win👍

Nice that there’s still appreciation & room in the game for the “quiet achiever”;Jasprit Bumrah’s not far off becoming the “gold standard”. Pujara proving that those who critique his scoring rate don’t quite grasp his significance to an evolving India batting lineup.
