TIL Desk Sports/ Cricket Australia (CA) on Wednesday congratulated its Test team for the quality performance during the recently concluded four-match Test series against India. Australia thrashed the hosts in the first Test match at Pune by 333 runs and then lost the second match in Bengaluru by 75 runs.
The third match, which was played in Ranchi, was a dull day with series tied at 1-1. In the fourth and final test match in Dharamsala, India defeated Australia by eight wickets to clinch the Test series 2-1 and regained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Congratulating the team, CA Chairman David Peever said: “As the team arrives home over the next two days, they will find that all of Australia is immensely proud of their efforts. Some gave them little chance of testing the world’s number one team, but instead showed resilience, adaptability and a determination to overcome the difficulties they have experienced in recent years in such conditions.”
