twitter reactions over India's win melbourne

Melbourne VIC, First Published Dec 30, 2018, 10:34 AM IST

ഇന്ത്യന്‍ ക്രിക്കറ്റിനെ അഭിനന്ദിച്ച് ട്വിറ്റര്‍ ലോകം. അഞ്ചാം ദിനം ആദ്യ സെഷന്‍ മഴ കവര്‍ന്നെങ്കിലും മത്സരം തുടങ്ങി 27 പന്തുകള്‍ക്കിടെ ഇന്ത്യ ടെസ്റ്റ് സ്വന്തമാക്കി. 137 റണ്‍സിന്റെ വിജയമാണ് ഇന്ത്യ സ്വന്തമാക്കിയത്. ഇതോടെ നാല് ടെസ്റ്റുകളുള്ള പരമ്പരയില്‍ 2-1ന് മുന്നിലെത്താനും
ഇന്ത്യക്ക് സാധിച്ചു. ഇന്ത്യന്‍ വിജയത്തെ പ്രശംസിച്ച് നിരവധി പേരാണ് ട്വിറ്ററിലെത്തിയത്. ചില ട്വീറ്റുകള്‍ കാണാം.

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👍

Biggest factor, of course, was bowling attack led by @Jaspritbumrah93 . His sensational spell helped India to massive first innings lead. Nine wickets in the Test, he delivered every time ball was thrown at him. Bumrah is my MoM.

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.

Indian seamers end 2018 with 179 wickets. They've never taken more in a calendar year.

They also end with a bowling average of 23.70. Only three times in their history have they averaged less, and in those years they took 43, 9, and 7 wickets.

This attack is historic. #AUSvIND
— The Cricket Prof. (@CricProf) December 30, 2018

All in 2018:

Virat Kohli has hit centuries in South Africa, England, Australia.

Jasprit Bumrah has taken 5 in South Africa, England, Australia.

India have won Tests in South Africa, England, Australia.

Just need to win first-ever series in Australia to start 2019. #AUSvIND
